Anoher thing I have noticed about some hearing people that annoys me, sometimes is frightening, is when they get absorbed into the Deaf culture and chastise the deaf for not following the norms of the Deaf culture.....
Example:
* I knew a hearing person that was studying ASL and constantly put their 'hearing culture' down for their treatment of the Deaf.
* Another hearing individual made an announcement at a deaf gathering by stating that they wanted " all of the deaf not to wear hearing aids and just sign to their heart's content and kick hearing people's ass."
* One hearing person went to the extreme of eliminating all sound from their home.
The above is hearing people going to the extreme for the sake of the Deaf culture.
Now I don't mind hearing people learning the language, the history, being advocate for equality, but going to the extreme of Deaf culture when they are not deaf themselves is a little.....scary.
