How do you feel when people say "your stutter is cute"

How do you feel when people say "your stutter is cute" I began to stutter when I was 5 and managed to control my stutter when I was 17ish - thanks to years of speech therapy and also having a parent who stuttered helped me to build confidence! For the most part I can talk without stuttering but every now and than it comes out (usually when I'm tired, stressed-out, nervous - or sometimes it just comes out and I just caring about it). However, I was with some friends and I stammered a bit and one of the people in our group said that I have a "cute" stutter. I don't think the person meant to be nasty or condescending - and I smiled and moved on. But it got me thinking; how would you feel when someone says that "your stutter is cute"? Personally, I never thought of my speech issue as "cute" - I struggled with it. I was very insecure about it when I was a teen. But that's just me - what do you think?
