I'm really not a fan of labeling a stutter as something like just stumbling on my words. My stutter is something annoying that I was born with and have to deal with, it's not a mistake that I've made, it's not my fault, and it's not something that can be fixed by just thinking about what I'm going to say before saying it, or just talking slowly, the way a non-stutterer can prevent stumbling over words. This just exacerbates the feelings of shame that so many people who stutter feel, because it's literally denying reality and trying to hide what's actually going on. Should a person thats legally blind say that their eyesight is fine but they're just very clumsy? Who does that actually help? I don't care if people find out I have a stutter because it's nothing I should be ashamed of. I'd honestly rather people know I have a stutter than think I just constantly mess up my words for some other reason. If they think less of me because of my stutter then fuck 'em, their opinion is worth nothing
