Nope. They only become this so-called "cultural or linguistic minority" by deprivation of both a sense and their natural culture. Their natural culture is the one they are born into within their family. h.
Nope. Sign is the birth right language for Deaf....
Its not so called. We ARE a culture, sign IS a language, and we ARE a minority...areyou arguing we Deaf are the majority??
A tiny group of Deafies salivating over an infant born into the world with a broken sense, hungry to grab them from their families and natural culture to make them like them is creepy. h.
We are actually not a tiny group...you seem to be an expert on us...let me ask you something, to help gauge your expertise here
Do you sign?
Their lack of or limitation in that sense doesn't automatically make them one of yours anymore than an adult going deaf does. There are ways to prevent their being sucked into a culture that depends on inability to interact with the world at large, just like becoming religious can be staved off by education. h.
Our culture doesnt depend on inability, your adudism betrays you..our culture rests on ability. Sign is an ability...not a lacking
I'm for full access for children born or going deaf. They can decide as they get older if they want to be part of or even like your world. They'll have that choice versus just defaulting because they have no choice. h.
So you say, excuse me if i feel your full of it..
This is a great thread! Any parent with half a brain reading it is going to do everything they can for their child to access world at large versus handing them over to deaf adherents that use cultish "logic."h.
It truly is, i havnt seen audism like this come out the sewers for a while...your bigotry is shinning
It really is bizarre that a "late-deafened" individual shows no signs of ever having actually been that and is one of those being loudest about "culture"... a culture you were never born into and is not really yours... which explains the loud protesting whereas one who actually was born into it would be more likely to have a live and let live approach.
Its not that bizzare at all. Your post just betrays your utter lack of knowlege of us our history and how we accept people.
I was hearie for 9 years of my life...ive been Deaf a signer for 30...
Our history is full of people that went Deaf just like me at my age who were Deaf and accepted as Deaf,even in leadership positions, storytellers, poets, bizzare....? its not. rare it is not!..You havnt the faintest clue what your on about.
I wont school you here to much, because i know your not sencere...
But give a read of our history, and you will find many many kids that went Deaf, as Deaf. And accepted as such...a famous example would be veditz, of the preservation of sign language fame...we accept you, and our culture becomes yours when you sign and are one of us...or when your born one of us, when sign is denied you...we feel its your birthright language...
Yeah you sit there an authoritaran wagging a finger at me about a culture your posts clearly show you know little about..and you expect to be taken seriously.....
Spare me..
Live and let live? Pls by all means leave our babies and kids the hell alone...take your fetish drils and messiah tech and shove it where i signs dont shine....
