A COUPLE have been slammed by trolls who claim they look more like ‘mother and daughter’ than romantic lovers.
Taffy and Star have been together for a year, and while they are happy together, they are constantly trolled for their height difference.

Standing at just 3ft 7″, Taffy, who is 27, is often mistaken for a child, especially when she is out with her girlfriend.
Taffy is the same height as your average four-year-old, due to a condition called Fanconi Anaemia which is a rare inherited bone marrow failure, which caused Taffy to stop growing.
Speaking on Love Don’t Judge, Taffy revealed just some of the cruel comments the couple have received.
She said: “People confuse me with being a child all the time.
“The judgment we get is always ‘is that your mum’ or ‘are you the kid’ or ‘ew, why is she dating a kid?’ or ‘why would she want to date someone that looks like a kid.’”
But it’s not just Taffy’s height that has caused concern for viewers, it’s also her high-pitched voice.
Star says she loves Taffy regardless of her height and helps Taffy with daily tasks.
In the video, Star can be seen helping Taffy brush her teeth, getting her clothes ready for the day and cooking her breakfast.
At one point, Star lifts Taffy up onto the kitchen counter so she can help prepare an omelette.
Star explained: “I think I love cooking with you more because I get to pick you up, put you on the counter, and then you get to help me cut up stuff.”
Taffy admitted that she finds it frustrating being compared to a child, adding: “It irritates me when people think I’m a child because you see that I have piercings.

“You see that I have tattoos.
“Are you blind? Are you not looking?”
Star added that the pair often get looks and stares when they are together in public, but had just one thing to say to the haters.
“What I would like to say to people that judge us is get a life,” she said.
“Get a real life. Find yourself.
“Find somebody that loves you because somebody loves me.”
The clip quickly went viral on YouTube with over 71k views, and people did not hold back on what they thought of their relationship.
One person wrote: “I totally understand her irritation with being called a child, but honestly, it’s a fair assessment. If I saw them kissing in public, I would see it as strange for sure. Just being honest.”
