Thank you for taking the time to answer me, it was very interesting. It's a shame then that the deconditioning track is weak because of the difficulty in putting it in place, it could have been an int...

It's not pretty privilege. It's the fact your comfortable with yourself and choose good people to be around you. I'm a 24 yo man now, but as a kid I definitely had some bullies. It didn't stop me from...

I personally believe being a pretty girl helps. I was that girl. On the top of that I was so shy and timid that most people assumed that I do not stutter. Man usually behaved so well and tried to help...

I'm sure pretty privilege plays a part in being more confident, but from my experience, most people don't make fun of stutterers because they don't want to be perceived as an asshole. I'm a woman an...

I think it’s that people don’t want to make things awkward by bringing up your stutter. I bring it up all the time and will be like “I prefer this word bc it’s easier for me to say.” Make stuttering n...

fluency is so important to you because you are a people who stutter, for other people it isn't. No one cares 99,9% of the time when you stutter, only you. That's a classic trap for people who stutter:...

I definitely agree with the self confidence thing. I’m a female and I would consider myself quite attractive so looks do come in handy. However I’d say I’m quite confident and extroverted and althou...

As a woman, I can relate to this experience. In my opinion, a big factor here, aside from “pretty privilege,” is gender roles imo. Women who are quieter or stutter are often more accepted because soci...

I’ve had a similar experience, I’m also attractive but I don’t think that has anything to do with it in my case. It just seems to be human decency rather than privilege. Mind you, pretty privilege ...
