It's shitty to force someone to participate in your culture against their will to validate yourself.

I think the attitude as a whole is pretty silly, but there isn't any justification for taking away someone else's choices to validate yourself.

It's really crappy when people's identity is so invested in getting everyone else look at them a certain way that they feel a need to belittle people for doing something that will relieve pain and help them be more functional. The worst thing is that all that insecurity is misdirected. No one even cares, beyond the minor novelty of seeing someone shorter than usual.

Those "few bad actors" are the only option for a huge number of people. That's the problem.

No regulation that imposes $100,000,000 or more on the economy

The cost of regulation is extremely difficult to quantify. As someone who has worked in the defense industry, one of the major problems with regulation is that that they target things that are easy to measure at the expense of things that are hard to measure. They make the numbers looks great, but the numbers don't accurately reflect the problem they try to solve.
