If they say that to you directly then congratulations you got an easy discrimination lawsuit on your hand. Use the money from it to retire early/s As long as the text to voice is quick and efficient enough (they don't work like phones, there is a ton of shortcuts in them to match the efficiency of talking) You won't have a problem. It's not dishonest to use them if you only got a stutter but can still speak. For example Stephen hawking can talk but it's slow so he qualifies for it Besides social media these days is pushing for inclusivity. Having someone mute will earn them some PR brownie points especially if it's a big business. All of the jobs that I apply for are desk jobs that don't require a lot of face to face communication. You should consider picking up the skills for that
