How is it demeaning? I have stuttered since I was six and it has been a hell most of my life. I still don't like it, but I try to make the best of it. Very rarely it comes with perks, but when it happens I want to make the most of it. Treating stuttering like a negative life-altering disorder will make it just that, so shining a little bit of light and positivity on it is a good thing imo.
