The Making of a Word: Audism ...And More

Just a guess: "Hearing think"??

Is that really as strong as "audist"? I've seen it to mean more like "he doesn't know about Deaf culture" and I've used it jokingly about myself on occasion when I make some kind of cultural error. But if that's really how it's signed, I'll stop using that sign unless I mean "audist."

That sign is terrible.

Unfortunately, sr171soars, a term CAN and does label people to the point that it interferes with their capabilties to perform. It is the tendency of humans to see the label first, and the person second. It happens in all areas, not just with the Deaf. Label someone a schizophrenic, and do you see the person first, or the mental illness first?

Obviously, that happens all too often...far too often and real life validates that observation (heck, I seen it in my life many times). My point is that life ain't fair and whatever shingding you are labeled, you are still capable of proving others wrong. The real key isn't proving to the entire world otherwise but just the ones that are important in your own world... Let's say there is nothing different about you, you still have to earn respect from others.

That isn't how it's signed, at least not in my experience. At Gallaudet, everyone I've met fingerspells "audist."

Wish I could understand what they are saying..
Looks very informative.. And, using the sign for "opressed"seems like a good sign. Guess the mouth will say "audism".

Yeah it would be interesting to know what they are saying. My ASL is not so good that I can follow. Is there a text transcript?

Yeah, I recalled Shawn. It was a shocking news
about his death. Shawn even asked me to
be one of his assistants during his band tour,
but I never had this opportunity to act only
because he already died too early. He already
proved to the World that he toured all over
the United States to share his deaf music.
 
oh brother it looks like their website removed
Shawn Dale Barnett's photos Sigh....

I'm gonna save some of them on my desktop
just in case if they're gone again Grrr

Here is one of my favorite ones:
