Her analogy of the audist mentality and mindset is terrific. Even though Adian is "preaching to the choir," it's vital for the "choir," mostly ASL deafies, that we keep talking up our culture and self-easteem to each other.

Every bit of territory you concede to a group which oppresses you "for your own good" uses that concession to oppress you even more.
