Stuttering is like role entrapment: I feel like I'm forever destined to play the role of a shy, unconfident, awkward but nice guy. People just see that so many of them assume that I'm like that when...

I've never once had anyone order food for me and I think that's due to the fact that as a male, I'd hate not being able to do it myself. It would make me feel weak. Obviously I know now that it's okay...

My mother stuttered as a child. She says she still does but I've never heard it. She was always worried about my stuttering, but never brought it up. As a fellow covert stutterer I think she knew I'd ...

I’m a woman who stutters. I think the experience is different...people often think it’s “cute” when I’m not sure they feel the same when it’s a man. It’s definitely more socially acceptable to be a sh...
