I've used the terms 'The Good and The Bad & The Ugly'. I feel it is important to showcase resources which are positive and tackle heightism, alongside those ones which are classic clear examples of heightism itself. Resources listed under 'The Good' are those which are anti heightism. They may still contain content and references to content which is heightist. Those listed under 'The Bad & The Ugly' are by definition heightist. You may find these resources particularly triggering and should only view them with caution.
If you would like to submit a resource or have found a non-functioning link please email me at stopheightism@gmail.com

Anti-Heightism Organisations
A permanent library of information that might be useful to persons of short stature this website, edited by Steven B. Goldsmith a trustee of the now sadly defunct organisation NOSSA, had been operational since 2000.
Written by Gareth Morinan a comedian, this article looks critically at the work of other comedians which mocks shorter people. He has another article on the Huffington Post.
A website supporting the work of Ellen Frankel who has written a book about her journey with heightism. I haven't been able to get hold of a copy yet, but the information on her website is an excellent resource.
This TIME magazine article is unfortunately behind a pay wall, but if you are a subscriber it may be worth a look.
A humorous take on living with heightism with a serious edge. Explores the intersectionality between heightism and racism.
A website and blog with lots of posts about heightism with links to video and audio examples. Be warned it has potentially triggering content.
Spoiler. Yes she is a bit heightist but the author is challenging her views which is refreshing to see.
A questionable interpretation of various studies about heightism which uses some heightist language. It's good for stats though.
