Its Audist not deafist. (discriminate aganist the status of auditory). Deafist doesnt really make any sense.

DirtyOldMan · 04-12-2003, 07:34 PM

deafist means a few of things.

Let me translate for you: this is the argument that claims deaf people are not really people who tragically can't hear, but in fact are an identity group -- like ``Chinese-Australian'', or ``gay'', or ``people of colour'' -- with their own culture.

I consider myself to be an deafist instead of saying "I'm Irish" or "Native american"

Because I rather to say "I'm Deaf!" Got it ?

Stevey Boy · 04-12-2003, 08:28 PM

There is no such word as "deafist"

Wow .. I am very proud and happy to read this..

cause in our german forum , we had a discussion about this questions..there were some , saiing you cant be proud to be deaf...Why ?? They say , that u cant be proud of a disable . You can only be proud of sth , which u have done on ya own..

Boah , it was difficult to convince them ... So what do ya think about this !?

05-08-2003, 12:18 AM

CrazyAngel, I read the forum you were talking about, and I understand what they are saying.

I will sum it up for AllDeafers:
Some ppl said that they find the question strange. If you ask a hearing person if they are proud to be hearing, they would not know what to answer. Some are arguing that deaf ppl has a community so they have an identity. Hearing people simply do not know that they are hearing, because being hearing is "normal" to them. Asking a blind or a person in a wheelchair, if they are proud to be "diasabled." They might say no. But for deaf, it is different. Some of the Germans think that you can only be proud based on your own actions, what you accomplished in life, etc... Some ppl spoke about other identities, but it was apparent not all ppl agreed on the German forum.

I think in the USA, we also have the same problem, but I also think that the deafies have a different mindset here. I do not view it as a disablity at all.

GoofyBoy3 · 05-13-2003, 08:33 AM
