I feel for you. I imagine it's a unique struggle as a man. I'm glad a woman in that regard, I'm aware I've been able to leverage my beauty/come across as just shy (when the truth was I was actually hesitant to speak, thus not always showing my true personality) to get some advantages despite the stutter, and I think dating & such has overall been easier, as I find most men didn't really mind as men are easily pleased it's mostly like "she's hot she's letting me hit & she's nice to me" so even me stuttering my own name has generally not been a deal killer. My brother, in his 20s, doesn't stutter, thank God. I feel like if I hypothetically had 2 children, at least 1 will likely stutter, I've read too much about stutterers having kids & often at least 1 inherits it. If I do go for it, I hope it at least wouldn't be my son.
