It would be wonderful if we have a Deaf World instead of Hearing World unless the hearing people who are interest in ASL and not try to change us to please them and not to try to fix us. They are welcome to our Deaf World and can meet halfway or all the way to communicate with us Deafies/HOH. I know that is a dream and I am dreaming that I can be who I want to be and not look down at me and I feel free to use ASL for myself and the deaf babies and deaf children. The hearing world is telling us NO to ASL and to use voice, and lipread.
