23F stutterer. I’ve never met another female who stutters. Being a female who stutters is an experience unique to us. Not only are we dealing with a stutter, but we are navigating a male-dominated wor...

This is exactly how I think and feel, word for word. My stutter is caused by social anxiety and is quite severe at times. But I can be completely fluent speaking to my husband because I’m 100% comfort...

That's unfortunate bit of true. The radio communication is such a vital part of being a pilot. There must be other careers that you are interested in that require less oral communication. I avoided...

Yes, you and your mom have every right to be unhappy. The world doesn't favor diversity and people suffer from unfair prejudice. We have to do everything we can to support ourselves in this situatio...

I’m totally with you. As frustrating as it is and as much stress and insecurity that comes with it, I know I’m so much more than my stutter. It’s exhausting carefully maneuvering through words and get...

I absolutely hate texting/email. You can't get a read on a vibe with a person that way. I understand it's convenience though. With my friends i usually just text, but if I'm engaging with a woman I us...
