I tell a lot of people that I stutter. They don't treat me differently, but I have some measure of control of what they interpret my stutter as. Nobody's "normal". Don't get caught up in that concept...

This was a good response. I think the problem that some of us have with acceptance is that sure, we accept that we stutter, but stuttering makes us feel useless (at least that's how it is for me). I ...

Same. I didn't believe my friend had any 'hell' as you say. One day, we were comparing skin colours, and he told me 'I wish I was white like you.' He continued to talk to me about him getting bullied ...

If you do that, that is your choice. But that means you are placing your power of speech into a strangers hands and allowing them to lock it away. Fuck what people say or think about you just because ...
