My stutter fluctuates. I do a lot of work on the phone at my job, and some days my sentences are basically "Hi - um- this -um - is..." as I use "um" to get past blocks. Other days I am better. I wouldn't classify myself on the severe end of the scale in general though, and I certainly feel for people who do have it that severely. The general point I'm going for is I think a lot of stutterers are hooked on their victim status and get off on the "woe is me" card, and that so long as you think you're a victim and disabled, that's how your reality is going to be. People have overcome all sorts of "disabilities" in the world. At the top of this sub, we have pictures from stutterers who obviously weren't held back by their stuttering. You have to work with your body and all the idiosyncracies that come with it, but I believe humans can overcome these challenges and turn what seemed like negatives into positives. Thinking here's a regular human, and here's a human with a stutter, so the human with a stutter is worse off, is way too black and white. The world is not that simple, in my opinion.
