Almost exactly the estimated amount! 64 women / 357 responders is about 19%, and the estimated portion is about 20% female . Kind of surprising to see how well it matches the data, especially on a mal...

Interestingly enough, studies show that men are much more likely to stutter then females. It has genetic reasoning. Although I don’t think this is the reason why this poll is so lopsided. Data shows t...

I believe connecting confidence to stuttering is actually bad for the community as a whole because it reaffirms the idea that people who stutter are incompetent. I can be as confident and comfortable ...

But no one said people only consider that one thing when choosing whether to date someone, just that it's a consideration, subconscious or not. Which the OP is one example of anyway. Obviously we al...

"I bet if we did a female study and asked if they’d prefer a disabled child or a non-disabled child, they’d choose non-disabled 99% of the time. " duh. that's why I said nuance. basically no one choo...

Eugenics in terms of disabilities or physical health is very much alive. Doctors do fetal tests for these things. I bet if we did a female study and asked if they’d prefer a disabled child or a non-...

It's sexism (and borderline eugenics) to say that women will only go for men that will produce the best, most abled children. Women and all people are typically more nuanced than that and have other t...

How is it sexism that only biological women can bare children and we are a planet of life that survives solely on reproduction. Are women more than reproductive tools, yes obviously. But you can’t avo...

Well his stuttering is barely noticeable as you stated. Stuttering is physical and mental. Honestly, that guy deserves a partner that isn’t going to question the relationship and its future based on ...

Do you value your boyfriend less because he stutters? Why should a child be valued less because they stutter?...

Really there is not much new stuff. Stuttering research is always following psychology. Stuttering treatment, on the other hand, just changes the name and sell to a new generation. Think about mindf...

I’ve always thought my autism was more to blame than my stuttering....

The author articulates their points well. And yes contextually it does seem like Amanda, 'singer with a speech impediment', is being made to look like a mere charity case. One that needs validation to...

Well phrased. I don’t get it either. It’s also strange that according to the author, stuttering is a hinderance only because sOcIeTy makes is that way. I have a hunch that the big majority of stuttere...

There are different kinds of cancer, depression, diabetes, etc. There are also different kinds of stuttering. For some, it most certainly is an impediment, disability, and acknowledging that is one ...

The blog post is nice and I completely agree with normalizing stutter, but IMO the writer glorifies this thing too much. > Stuttering is a difference, not an impediment. Yes, it’s hard to stutter...

because stuttering is better than senile. He obviously has speech problems, so admitting to the lesser problem is better....

It’s merely the human experience, there are many types of diseases/disorders/syndromes etc… Our existence and what we get most of the time is life throwing a dart on a board and that’s what we get, ce...

I think there are several factors. First, it's kind of an invisible/stealth disability. You walk into a room of people; you'd never be able to pick out the stutterer. No white cane or seeing eye dog...

That ENT is a jackass speaking outside of his scope. He doesn't know anything about stuttering and his reason has zero evidence behind him. It was also extremely unprofessional to make that comment, l...
