It's great that you don't let your stuttering bother you, and I can understand having a more difficult time relating to some posts here. But if your stuttering never bothered you before then I wouldn't say fuck stuttering (it's clearly not a major issue to you), fuck ignorance. Did you you explain to her that's not how stuttering works? That's it's not because someone is nervous? Because that's a huge misconception. If you did and she didnt believe you, then I dont think she rejected you, I think she rejected the made up ignorance she had in her mind and just put it on you. Either way, she either listens or continues to be ignorant. looks like she made her choice.
