I know what it means, I have run into capital "D" as in Deaf in real life.
Capital "D" do not associate much with hearing people, prefer deaf schools, their own language, and their culture, have a strong deaf identity, prefer to marry deaf person, not hearing person. They do judge other deaf people if they speak, read lips, or been raised oral, or have a cochlear implant.
Lowercase as in "deaf" do associate with the hearing people, raised and mainstreamed in public schools, prefers all key mode of communication tools.
