24F, from the UK and stuttered my whole life, I’ve only met one other woman with a stutter. I started talking at 4 months old (something my speech therapist would later suspect was one of the causes...

> Can you go into this more? Sure. I get comments from men who act like my experience with living with a stutter must somehow be so wildly different from theirs in many aspects. And sure, I bet there...

As far as bullies, the best mental exercise I can give to anyone is that anyone who is acting overly-confident and is acting like an a-hole to you is that it’s important to remember, they are just hid...

>I'm glad to hear that you've come to realize your opinions were harmful and dismissive and that you were open to changing that. Yes. I'm glad the OP posted this and brought this to my attention. I'v...

knowing what I know now I regret not punching my bullies in the teeth. good for you on that one. I am more trained than all the kids who work in my department and management treats me like I know les...

I would prefer they don’t get posted at all. But I don’t think those posts should be banned or anything. The natural conclusion to realizing you’ve unknowingly been hurting feelings, is to adjust wh...

I'm glad to hear that you've come to realize your opinions were harmful and dismissive and that you were open to changing that. Even taking dating aside since that has been covered, stuttering can b...

I relate with what you had said, I wanted to join the military but after seeing posts of stutters experiencing how their recruiters said “are you retarded”, “how did you even pass boot camp?” And tbh ...

Stuttering isn’t really the problem. It’s society’s stigma towards it. So it’s best to explain that you stutter so that way, you can give your speeches without worrying about what your audience may be...

Yeah, in first world countries at least people can hire you for the disability quota or whatever, people that have difficulties can have a chance and get help, i'm in the sixth country with the most s...

Actually I see super strong and resilient people on this sub. We are dealing with a disability that is not recognized as such because we are not in a wheelchair. We can't talk to anyone in our lives a...

It's unrealistic to not consider severe stuttering as a serious issue , it's not only affecting your social life but also your career and making a living. And you are totally doomed if you are in a ...
