Hi @queenjendy! I'm sorry you have been teased for being deaf. Not cool. I am hearing, but was teased and bullied for having cerebral palsy and using a wheelchair. I don't know very many people who are deaf, but I've been told my hometown has a "deaf community", so to speak. But I don't know...

I think.. When it comes to the issue of abortion, I am on the fence. I live in South Dakota (one of the biggest abortion opposing states there is), and my state tried outlawing abortions completely (even if it was rape or incest), and I'm glad that kind of ban never passed. Personally, I...

Hi Everybody, :wave: As you probably figured out, I'm new here. I am hearing, but have an interest in sign language, Deaf culture, and related things like that. I have cerebral palsy, and as my left hand is weaker than my right, I'm not the world's greatest signer (I know a little bit). I am...
