Understanding the Difference: Midget vs. Dwarfism - Respectful Language

There is no scientific or medical difference between the two terms "midget" and "dwarf". Both terms are widely considered offensive and disrespectful when used to refer to people with dwarfism. The terms "little people" or "people with dwarfism" are preferred as they center the dignity and individuality of this population. It's important to use language that respects and values the humanity of all individuals.
