There was an old ted talk that the lady(who was 🏳️‍🌈) stated there is just hard. Her hard, his hard, their hard, my hard. No point in ranking. I don’t have a lisp but it sounds hard. I’m sorry that...

They are not cured. You can't cure who you are. Brains don't magically change like that. You can develop you neuropathways, but that's not the same thing. I believe what you're thinking of are people ...
