I got so irritated in the 2nd season of Outlander with the girl who stuttered. They portrayed her as weak and meek and just somebody who couldn’t stand up for herself. Then they had the stutter just g...

I disagree 100% with that. It is used almost exclusively for people making fun of someone who feels insulted. If it is truly an insult, they wouldn’t say they are sorry for triggering you. They would ...

Depiction of stuttering in film

Depiction of stuttering in film Pan’s Labyrinth, Sixth Sense, Die Hard 3. Even that episode of The Office. That moment in “It” when the kid suddenly didn’t stutter during his big speech because he was...

Triggering is an actual medical term. It's not just some made-up insult to make fun of people who struggle with their mental health or who are attention-seeking. This is the correct usage of the term,...

I’m glad I saw this, because now I understand her perspective and I totally get it. But at the same time, like you mentioned, the general public won’t see it that way, they’ll see it as mocking, which...

I definitely agree it’s a little offensive, but I also kind of see it from their end too. It’s good that they’re trying to show it’s nothing to be ashamed of, but the execution was awful...

I hate when people apologize for “triggering” you. That’s bullshit. Triggering should be used when the comment was clearly not offensive but the person took it as offensive....

Work place question

Work place question Hi, I’ve got a stutter and mild speech impediment (l’s,r’s). How do I navigate that in the workplace? It really hasn’t been that big of a deal till quite recently. I mean, I’ve e...

You notice it more than other people do. I can’t tell you how many times I’ve mustered you the courage to tell someone I stutter after months-years of knowing them and they go “oh I didn’t know you st...

I relate to you so much, yeah exactly it’s not our fault,i hate when people judge and think that we are like this and it’s our fault that we stayed like this, nobody wished to born with a stutter and ...

Absolutely, it’s a huge part of me. I’m not saying I embrace it fully and that it does not frustrate me, but only reason it frustrates me is because a lot of people people are unaware and unaccepting,...

I feel you. I never liked speech therapists and never went to one, but I was approached by a few and met a few, they all gave me tips on how to ‘overcome’ my stutter and I didn’t even ask for help! (I...

My older sister would, on the rare occasion, make fun of my stutter. She would often make fun of me to get a reaction, sometimes it just happened to be my stutter she made fun of. She never knew her d...

Sorry that happened to you. On a positive note, now you know who not to hang around with. Stuttering is the best personality test because it let's you know who is worthy of your time and that grou...

First time I've cried because of somebody's reaction I was talking with a group in a public voice chat and one of the people was like "just get it out, dude" and I about died 😭 one of the others told...

I cannot believe grown ass adults are still mocking stutterers. This used to happen when I was in elementary school, are you telling me it still happens in adulthood? My advice is, just ignore them? ...
