There’s a fundamental difference between the traditional stage fright and stuttering: stage fright often invokes fear. Stuttering in front of people often invokes shame. What’s the difference?

Didn’t we, as a society, decide that shaming children about stuttering is a monstrous to do? Or does that only apply to fluent children? Lidcombe Programe makes us question…

Is it possible to stutter without much of a struggle? Does that erase the stuttering experience entirely? Perhaps stuttering can be more of a shifting Venn Diagram than a set iceberg…

Being excited is my entire personality (jk, kinda not really). No “turtle talk” for me. Don’t tell me to slow down my speech just so you don’t have to listen to stuttering.

Learning to like my stutter was never the plan. And yet, 10 years after I pledged to myself "I might hate my stutter, but I will thank God for it," I find myself here…. liking it.

Not everyone who stutters wants to change their innate speaking voice. I can hate the stigma without hating my voice.

Stutterers think ‘people can leave us or take us’ but ignore the systemic oppression that happens in an uneducated society.

“What was your experience as a person who stutters in speech therapy, and what do you wish was different?”

Maybe that’s what I’d tell my younger self: don’t wait for your sign from God. Do what you want to do, and do it scared.

How borrowed language from the queer community upset me and then taught me.

I can hardly blame parents and caregivers for their fear when they see messaging that paints stuttering as some "devastating human disorder". What other conclusions are left for them to draw?
