Thanks for your reply! I actually do see my stutter as part of my identity, and I don't think that's a bad thing. I believe it's possible for something to be an important part of who you are without it consuming your entire being. For example, I'm neurodivergent (and I actually consider my stutter a part of that neurodivergence). It's an unchanging part of me that I accept. That doesn't mean I'm allowing my neurodivergence to be the only thing that defines me. I actually use identity-first language for most things. I'm an autistic person, not a person with autism. I'm a biracial person, not a person of mixed race. This is how I accept reality and feel happy doing so. The only times I use person-first language are for conditions/illnesses that aren't lifelong or develop later in life (eg. a person with a depressive disorder, not a depressed person). Your advice is very wonderful, and I appreciate it. We are all different, so I know that others cope better with person-first language over identity-first language. I also appreciate that you've shared your personal experience with me. That means a lot!
