It s very obviously that people do not understand why I have the term "Deaf". I can see they are closedminded.. Do they have a term "CIer" in their resume? I think not!
So, I have my choice about what the term to put in. I hav no problem to put Deaf then itis really fine with me anyway. If it helps then what s your fricky problem do they have? I cannot hide myself for who I am. Why should I hide that I am deaf that would be to show that I am ashamed of it? And I am not, so why hide it?
Actually, I should be proud of being deaf in a diversity world. If I can make it in a diversity world then it just shows my strength.
It s very hard evidence to proof that they are discriminating me or many deafies who tried so hard to find a good job for years and years. So therefore we are stuck with that old attitudes. It sux has before and will sux in the future.
I remember a guy who was latened deaf and got pissed off at those people he worked with.. He got demoted from the job after he became deaf. That s a real prejudiced and discriminated by audist attitude . So there! It s wrong as hell but it happens..
Thank you!
