I think this is a disability with so many layers. Some have a more difficult forms of stuttering, some have less support from family or friends, some are more bullied/dismissed, some develop lifelong anxiety or regret from it. My dad has it and was never bothered by it l. He got a great job where he stuttered openly and didn’t care if anyone thought less of him. I have blocking and live as a covert stutterer, aways terrified of going out in the world. I got a shitty degree and from there only jobs where I could hide, which are not what pays the most. Guess who had it harder and their life defined more by stuttering? I feel with disability (and everything else), we should have some grace that the experience is hard in different ways for people, regardless of gender. It’s not just about talking to strangers in bars.
