Hello! 32F. Probably met one other female stutterer my entire life. I was so self-conscious about my stutter in my 20s. As you know, I experience days with complete fluency and then days with blocks on each word. When I met my husband, after a few weeks of dating, I finally was able to admit that I stuttered only for him to say that he knew and didn't care 😅 Now that I'm older and a smidge wiser, I've become more open about my stutter with people I meet. But man some days are still hard. Definitely feel like my career would've been way different if I didn't have a stutter.
