No. Because its a disability. If my legs were gone my true self would not be a track star no matter if that was my ideal self. You aren't doing the stutter it's happening too you not by you. Imho. What if my true self is a version of me far worse then now? Does true self imply best self? Maybe if you didn't stutter you would be a bully instead of who you are now? You couldnt possibly know. If it wasn't a stutter this maladaptive thought pattern of yours would make something else up to compare yourself too that you fall short of. Is there no true self that is deaf or blind etc?
