The problem is, every stutter is different. Root causes are often different. It can't just be hand-waved away. We can endlessly repeat that James Earl Jones "beat" his stutter or that Joe Biden became President, etc., but it doesn't change the frustration we all have, especially those of us who have particularly poor fluency. With that said, while I acknowledge my issues, I still always strive for more. That's not a victim mentality. I still have a right to hate it and be frustrated by how it limits me in certain unavoidable ways.
