as far as I am concerned, deaf people will not progress until they own up to that it is a disability and join the Disabled people movement, then we can see more social changes.

This remind me of the attempt from deaflympics to get part of the paralympics, because the amount of cash in paralympics are better than deaflympics alone. It didn't work because not enough resources was found to get the terps required to make the deaf part communicate with the paralympics event. This is just one of more stories of leaders in the deaf communition trying to join richer disability movements.
Most deaf organizations I know are by the way members of major disability right movements, in addition to other movements like World Federation of the Deaf or national deaf assocations, who then again work with national disability movements.
But, nice attempt to bring up other topics by a such inane reply
