I would seriously trade a leg or an eye to fix my stuttering. Yes I'm serious. I'd rather have those physical disabilities than to have a one that is not only invisible, but also completely ignored and sometimes mocked. A missing leg is a big deal but because of prothestics this can easily be managed for most things except heavy intense physical moves which most of us won't even do. Also you get disabled benefits. A missing eye is easy to adapt too. Only thing that sucks is that if you screw up your other eye you might get 100% blind. Also in some countries this also counts as disabled. Also no one is gonna be an asshole and mock an amputee or someone who has lost their one of their eyes. Oh boy I wish this wasn't the case with stuttering.
