How best to approach potential employers about your stutter? -- do you do it at all?

How best to approach potential employers about your stutter? -- do you do it at all? Hello all, I'm new here and I'm sure this has probably been brought up before, but I'll share anyways. I recently graduated college and have been applying for a lot of jobs with no luck so far. Unfortunately for nearly all of these positions they ask that you do a phone interview first. I stutter the absolute worst on the phone. I don't have the st-st-st-st-st-stutter kind of stutter, but rather one where I have a speech block on certain sounds to the point where at times I just can't say a damn thing so I switch to a similar word that I can sound out. In the end makes me sound dumb and inarticulate, especially over the phone. I'm much better in person where I at least have the advantage of communicating with body language. What is the best way to approach this? I'd rather not announce the fact that I have a stutter from the get-go. I don't want people to feel sorry about me and I don't want that to define who I am. I just want to live a normal life like everyone else. But in the back of my mind if I spoke to someone who talked like me over the phone, I'd probably think they were an unconfident idiot too. I guess what prompts this is that I recently had a phone interview for what I would consider an absolute dream job, and one that I believe I'm qualified for, but I didn't do too well over the phone. They told me I'd hear back last Monday if they wanted me to come for an in-person interview, but I haven't gotten any response yet. I'm thinking of sending a follow-up email telling them that I haven't heard back yet, but I'd love to come in for an in-person interview because I have a stutter and make a poor first impression over the phone. Would that be appropriate? On a related note, does anyone feel that they have been turned down for jobs because they have a stutter? Did you do anything about it? I know that people on average tend to think that stutterers are less intelligent. Out of curiosity I asked a friend who is a lawyer what kind of action could be taken, but filing a disability discrimination lawsuit like this sounds very, very difficult. A lot of discrimination lawsuits are class actions where they can prove an on-going pattern of, say, a company refusing to hire blacks. It's a hard thing to prove.
