Chiron is a bigger celestial body than Pluto, yet not many astrologers include it in their readings.
Can we talk about what Chiron symbolizes?

If you’re asking about what it symbolizes, I think what I’ve always read about it is that whatever house it is placed in (and what aspects it makes) is the area where you will always feel some kind of pain or it will be a “wound that never heals.” In that sense, it’s effect is a bit similar to Saturn.

I've read about this too and 'wound that never heals' however I have also read that one has to help others with that 'wound' to overcome it. Well that's the way I read it anyway. My Chiron is retrograde in 8th house of Taurus. Not sure what its all about though.
I don't think it is relevant that it is retrograde as I think I've read that Chiron is retrograde 50% of the time (or more?). Taurus represents many things, including sensuality. 8th house represents many things, including sex and sensuality. Perhaps you have some inhibitions or unresolved issues involving sex? 8th house also rules death and the occult. Maybe you've experienced trauma after a loved one passed away when you were younger and it scarred you? Maybe it sparked an interest in you in the idea of an afterlife because you try to overcome a loved one's death through assuring yourself they exist on another plane?
I think Chiron in the 8th can play itself out in many different ways in the native's life, those two examples are just what I can think of off the top of my head.

Maybe your right

I have Chiron in the 3rd, in Aquarius. 28.12
When I was 8, I went through a short period, that I stuttered.
It was a time of changes, and insecurity. In retrospect and in looking at it astrologically, Chiron in the 3rd exposed my insecurity in my family life, by affecting my speech. The pain I was going through, exhibited itself in the form of a stutter. In the 3rd house of communication. My Father worked with me, had me do public speaking. He liked to go directly to the problem. He was a Gemini.
What age were you when he had you do public speaking? Do you remember a point of 'getting over it'?
I developed a stutter around the same age, and it's stil there. Mercury has an almost exact sextile to chiron in my chart.
I was 8 or 9 when I started speaking publicly. I also know another man who has stutter. More pronounced than mine was, but not as strong as some I have met. When he started speaking publicly it lessened.
There are groups that you can join where you speak publicly. Maybe you would benefit from one. I will look at my books later for the Mercury sextile to Chiron. What sign and house are they in?
How pronounced? I know 2 other men that stutter, one heavily one not as much but definitely there.
I was surprised to discover that they both shared something with me. 13 schools in 12 grades.
The one who stuttered less, was a dentist and had to work with the public. The other was a computer programmer and worked in solitude.
Mercury is in my 10th, Chiron in the 12th. It's pronounced, although not the worst that I've heard.
They both went to 13 different schools across 12 grades? What a bizarre coincidence. Did you feel any other kinship to them?
Yes, it was an interesting evening. I met them both the same night. We all felt a kinship, of experiences shared. I think it may have been harder on the men, they may have taken more teasing by classmates, being the newbie every year, sometimes twice a year. I believe I was more fortunate because of my scholastics and my sports abilities. I was a gymnast and a speed swimmer. As well as being better at team sports than most of the classmates. At the beginning of the year I hung out with the misfits. At the end of the year the jocks and cool people wanted me around. I have a soft spot for the misfits. Always will, they accepted me first, my loyalties are to them.
I still see them about once a year.
I don't really want to talk about my own stuttering if I'm honest. It feels like I'm focusing on a symptom by doing so.
Okay. I do recommend public speaking. Reciting things publicly. Reading publicly.
I'm happy for you that you were shown a way to gain confidence early in your life.
