Hello, this was read in a collection of similar stories, the main character is wealthy/connected and having a discussion with another man about either deformities or a law change where those that don't appear fully human (?) will be affected. They seem to weigh the pros and cons.
The shock twist ending is that afterwards, he walks out into the (NYC) snow covered streets and either his long horns or antlers touch the snow as he walks.
The other futuristic short story (which may have been in this collection is about a man who has a manservant android that is said to resemble the actor Leslie Howard. They have a brief talk and the man meets his (new?) mate or girlfriend whom it appears was matched with him (by some futuristic method or service). They both appear friendly but impersonal as a couple, she has a female android servant too. Later on the couple find out that their androids fell in love and eloped.
Liked both these futuristic stories from my first forays into scifi. I hope someone can remember them, thank you.
