That's right, saying that someone needs to just calm down or just be confident is implicitly saying that stuttering is their fault. It is harmful and its unfortunately pervasive in the stuttering comm...

It's not pretty privilege. It's the fact your comfortable with yourself and choose good people to be around you. I'm a 24 yo man now, but as a kid I definitely had some bullies. It didn't stop me from...

You’re bullied as much by girls. Guys don’t bully you, but they belittle you and act like you’re a little child struggling to form sentences which gets so frustrating. Those are the guys that say it’s...

I personally believe being a pretty girl helps. I was that girl. On the top of that I was so shy and timid that most people assumed that I do not stutter. Man usually behaved so well and tried to help...

This is so relatable. Either I sound like a child or I sound weird. One time in biology someone once said to me “We speak English not caveman” because I was blocking badly. Also I struggle with announ...

fluency is so important to you because you are a people who stutter, for other people it isn't. No one cares 99,9% of the time when you stutter, only you. That's a classic trap for people who stutter:...

I definitely think pretty privilege plays a part! I was a bit of an ugly duckling growing up and was bullied relentlessly at school for my stutter. But I had a "glow up" in high school and everyone ju...

Kinda depend on the environment you are in but the opposite gender does have it easier when it comes to dealing with things like this, boys are less likely to make fun of girls for stuttering cuz they...

As a man I do think a lot of what you’re mentioning has to do with you being a woman. Men don’t judge a woman for stuttering because for one, we are very visual so if you’re pretty you already have a ...

As a woman, I can relate to this experience. In my opinion, a big factor here, aside from “pretty privilege,” is gender roles imo. Women who are quieter or stutter are often more accepted because soci...

wow! you’re lucky! Female here too, and I got mocked & bullied because of my stutter. 😢...

> That made me think that we are often too hard on ourselves, and maybe people don’t notice our stutter as much as we do. That's true to some extent, people who don't have a stutter do stutter somet...

Obviously pretty privilege exist. It is also disrespectful to make fun of someone for their stutter. A side note, I stutter a lot on the trilled r like in Spanish, but not really on the English r....

And then it hurts even worse when you see everyone else being able to socialize and get along with each other well. I know that isolating feeling all too well. The absolute worst part being you uninte...

My stutter wants to talk to the manager, apparently!

My stutter wants to talk to the manager, apparently! Gonna start this off by saying one time a week meaning person on the phone blessed me like I sneezed every time I struggled. I think of this woman ...

I totally feel you on that, it’s not the stutter that embarrasses me. Is the look on people’s faces or they change their tone speaking to you because they think you’re slow....

Thank you for sharing this. When I shared an offensive political flag I saw with Joe Biden's face on that "that's all folks" closing screen I got a lot of hate for sharing the absolute ordeal I had gr...

There was a more clear reason my parents were advised not to have kids. Other than the stutter I came out better than expected, did not have complications.  Only maternal male relatives stutter.  ...

I actually disagree. I feel as though the LACK OF characters with a stutter does irreparable damage to the understanding stuttering from the public. We really don't have that many representations in...
