Maybe but I do not believe so. Whenever I talk I focus on the different pitches in my voice the speed at which I’m talking and which words I can and can’t say which helps with my stutter and even while doing all that I still have a bad stutter. Now when I’m debating instead of focusing on the way I talk I’m searching my head for statistics and facts so I am not focused on my speech but on winning the debate. And to be quite honest with you I can’t say 3 words without stuttering when I don’t think about it. Seriously I try to keep my self confidence but debate I can’t do. With females I understand what you are saying and it is very possible. It’s just that I’ve never talked to one and I don’t know how to. I can’t tell a joke I can’t find a common interest without stuttering and ever since I’ve stuttered when speaking to my crush I just lost all my confidence and hope of talking to girls. But I do think what you said with females may have some truth to it but debate is a no no.
