The term "midget" is considered outdated and offensive. There is no single "first" midget, as being a person of short stature is part of human diversity. It is important to use respectful language and emphasize equality for all individuals.


How short do you have to be to be considered a midget?

This is all taken from Little People of America (LPA)Q: What is a midget?A: In some circles, a midget is the term used for a proportionate dwarf. However, the term has fallen into disfavor and is considered offensive by most people of short stature. The term dates back to 1865, the height of the "freak show" era, and was generally applied only to short-statured persons who were displayed for public amusement, which is why it is considered so unacceptable today.Such terms as dwarf, little person, LP, and person of short stature are all acceptable, but most people would rather be referred to by their name than by a label.Q: What is the definition of dwarfism?A: Little People of America (LPA) defines dwarfism as a medical or genetic condition that usually results in an adult height of 4'10" or shorter, among both men and women, although in some cases a person with a dwarfing condition may be slightly taller than that. The average height of an adult with dwarfism is 4'0, but typical heights range from 2'8 to 4'8.midget is only a slang for a short person. Not a medical term!There are varying standards even medically, but one definition restricts "dwarfism" to those who are under 4 foot, 10 inches tall (147 cm).Medically a midget is four feet to four feet 11 and 3/4 inches tall and perfectly proportioned in the limbs, spine, neck and head. You have to have been born that way, not shrunk down to that size from aging to qualify as a midget.
