23F stutterer. I’ve never met another female who stutters. Being a female who stutters is an experience unique to us. Not only are we dealing with a stutter, but we are navigating a male-dominated world. I also struggle a lot with embarrassment and self-esteem because of my stutter - on top of impossible standards we have to look, act, and be a certain way. Dealing with all of this gets overwhelming. I think wisdom and acceptance surrounding our stutter comes with age and life experiences. It’s hard to keep going, and easy to feel invalidated when looking on here. However, you are not alone in these feelings & stuttering experience!
