Stuttering female here! I haven\`t met any other female who stutters. I know 4 males who stutter, but haven\` met a single female who stutters. And my friends who tell me about other people they know who stutter the ones they mention are also male 1. hmm.. not sure. Maybe yes since theres more pressure on males to speak more "confidently" and apparently stuttering gives off a hesitant vibe 2. maybe. Ill definitely love the fact that they understand what Im going through and i hope they would too 3. YUP!! that also comes along with that look people give you as if they\`re talking to a child. My stutter is not that severe so it shows up later in conversations. Id be talking to people perfectly normally and when my stutter comes up they give me that annoying look. A look they would give to a little kid thats just speaking his first words. Its honestly soo annoying, especially when it happens in a professional setting.
