I was really worried about this too. I couldn’t get past the anxiety of “performing” in front of all of our closest friends and family. It had a big factor in my decision to elope with just my partner...

Now this is brave and stunning! Huge props to this woman. Some of her quotes are pretty brilliant: "I stutter when I speak, not when I think." ​ I am even more amazed as her stuttering...

I love seeing other women who stutter, especially powerful women. We’re outnumbered by men who stutter and I’ve been referred to as a man on this sub even after I made sure to clarify that I’m not a d...

Honestly, it doesn’t matter. If they stutter, we have something in common, but that doesn’t mean that’s all we’ll focus on. If they don’t stutter, hopefully they’re accepting of who I am as a whole pe...

I've had a similar situation but they thought I was on drugs. I was able to make a joke along the lines of "I stutter when I'm sober, NOT when I'm on drugs" which is actually true but it made him smil...
