Okay, you win and you think I am complaining about how I have to put up with the hearing society. You make a good point anyway. The hearing population is overcoming our Deaf culture, our Deaf community and ASL. If the hearing people want us to be like them to hear and to fix us with CI plus to talk and lipread one hundred percent. Then it is a losing battle which I hate that.
As for Martha's Vineyard, I have never been there or in New York City including the New York State either. I don't know what the Deaf town look like. What I am trying to say is that we Deafies would like to keep our
Deaf Culture and
ASL along with mainstreaming in elementary school, high school plus being able to communicate with other Deaf and hard of hearing people. If you are hearing, you don't know what is like to be Deaf at all. But if you are hard of hearing or Deaf, you will be able to understand why it is sooo difficult to try to understand and not being able to use ASL especially family members who prefer to have us speak and lipread without ASL. They are depriving our right to use ASL for visual purposes.
Now I am typing in my fourth post and I guess I could not define what one want to be in the Hearing World and another want to be in the Deaf World or vice versa.
I want to be in the Deaf World because I am comfortable being socialize with D/HOH people and easy on my eyes to communicate with ASL. That is all I have to say.
