I don’t want anyone to take this the wrong way, but as a non-stutter married to a stutter, I simply do not care in a way where I would think any less of you. My parents raised me with lots of empathy; and my parents migrated here, so when I hear stuttering, or an accent, I think about how brave and bold it is to make yourself vulnerable and open to negative responses—but your voice—your need to express yourself is more important. I have a terrible time looking people in the eye when I talk from a childhood trauma, but I appreciate when ppl don’t point it out or try to force me to meet their sight. I see it the same way. I can wait, I won’t put emphasis on it, because the worlds WILL come out. I don’t determine when or how anyone speaks, I’m just happy to communicate.
