hah, I've worn earrings for 10 years now, I don't think I'm going to be changing any time soon I don't think people should get so hung up on whether or not guys wear earrings.

yes and yes :)

how was his comment negative?

Just wondering, who here is fluent in two different signed languages? Feel free to rip on me if this is a stupid question :)

I think getting picked on is a universal experience for pretty much everybody.

I agree wholeheartedly with this.

you should also be learning that nonverbal communication is largely unconscious, so why are you blaming this guy for unconsciously doing things that you normally associate with dhh? Communication needs a sender and a receiver, and you MUST take into account that your own bias might be creating...

"tit for tat" means whatever *I* have done, you do back to *ME* .. if you're walking down the street and someone punches you, you can't hit some other random person and claim it's "tit for tat", you're just as guilty as the person who did it to you. Likewise, you have no right to blame ME for...

I do, and the majority of the time I've felt welcomed, but a few times I've gotten the feeling that I was discriminated against because I was hearing. I don't like that.

I guess I'm just feeling frustration because I really love using sign language, when I'm lucky enough to go for extended periods of time just signing and I eventually have to switch over to speaking again, I feel like I'm downshifting gears. I feel like a person hasn't really met me until...

I'm not seeing anything that leads me to believe that he was pretending to be deaf, all I'm seeing is your prejudice.

Interesting. Like I said, I wasn't sure about crossover lines, I was just going off initial observations. The way you have presented it makes more sense

Honestly, I'm not worried about acceptance, I think it's similar to when white people get accepted into black culture and the n-word is still off-limits. I understand that and I accept that. I understand why it's not cool for hearing people to invent new signs and such, but Deaf culture has an...
