but the meaning behind it is asking if what you said was unclear or unimportant. stuttering doesn’t mean either of those things

personally i think it’s just to emphasize the fact that he said it at all, not to imply it would have been different if he had stuttered

And ppl who make racist and misogynistic jokes often defend themselves by saying it’s not aimed at these groups, either. Sometimes impact > intent

this is NOT comparable to racism or sexism....😭 at all. this is a common phrase and it really isnt that deep. it seems like the disabled person is projecting their own life experiences and struggles onto a very harmless and common phrase

just because it’s a common phrase doesn’t mean it should be. her experiences with a stutter can be shared among many people with a stutter.

stutters have been mocked for a long time and she’s always been affected by it, including job opportunities

if people are casually mocking stuttering and people are losing job opportunities because of it, it is that deep

I don’t see how ableism isn’t comparable to racism or sexism There are many common phrases that are bigoted or -ist in some way

People without stutters can trip over their words when they are anxious or about a million other things. It’s just another way to say”I’m confident in what I’m saying rn.” It has nothing to do with people who have permanent stutters

you can be confident with a stutter, too. stuttering has nothing to do with confidence.

Where did I say you couldn’t?! I’m just saying that it quite literally has nothing to do with people who have stutters. I literally went to speech therapy for a stutter/lisp, I promise it’s not that deep

you insinuated that people use that phrase to say they’re confident by pointing out their lack of stutter
