About 20% of patients undergoing limb lengthening for cosmetic reasons are females. Despite this, it appears that fewer than 1% of forum members are women, largely due to certain male posters who consistently make disturbing and derogatory remarks about their height issues.

The absence of female participation in this forum may be attributed to such behavior, leading to the characterization of these male posters as incels.
