ok, i understand now - we disagree on the fundamental point of whether "hearing impaired" can be insulting. other people in this thread have given fine examples that support my position, just like people have supported yours. since it doesn't seem likely that one of us will be persuaded...

saavik, the emory&henry uni group has an e-mail address on their about page: jcaudill09@ehc.edu - you could also try writing to that address. thanks, dogmom. mewtilation - good luck to you and your friend! an established museum professional on linkedin just told me that he doesn't think...

museum industry. i will be getting a ba in history and art history (double major). i've worked with archives and art galleries, but it seems like the places hiring right now require advanced degrees that i can't afford yet....

yeah, that's the idea. the problem is finding a job in my field - it doesn't seem like a good idea to move up there without a job :(

ambrosia, i feel like you are missing my point about attitudes and gradual change. say you lived in the 1960s and 1970s when homosexuality was still listed in the DSM as a mental illness, and gay men and women were pushing to have it delisted (and, accordingly, to reduce usage of the word...

ahh the notification system on this thread is borked! MEWTILATION - i'm from the DC area but may be moving to rochester after this winter. SIERRA - if you're still reading this thread, would it be okay for me to add you as a contact/friend on here? then we can figure out how to stay in touch...

words have power - i didn't say to stop using a word would "magically erase" society's views, but in all likelihood there would be a gradual change in thinking. look at the words used for non-heterosexual people - some used to be insults but were reclaimed and repurposed into more neutral...

yeah give the free trial a go. i mostly use streaming, but some things have bad captions (mostly british tv but not all) and a lot of content from before the lawsuit still hasn't been captioned. having captions for songs is hit or miss. basically the quality/amount of captions depends on what...

i think the point is to get people away from the medical model of thinking, like in the second comment on that article. if you want to keep using the terms given by doctors&c then, yeah, that's your perogative, but you should learn to recognize the effect it has on society/other people when you...

thank you for your reply. the pm problem didn't have to do with post number and has been fixed, so people can pm me now.

i already live right outside dc. the summer climate in this area is very bad, which is why i want to move north. if there are no other choices i will think about staying here but really would prefer not to.

i know many trans* people, some deaf people, but nobody who is both. it feels very lonely sometimes - the transgender people i know don't know what it's like to be deaf, and the deaf people i know don't know what it's like to be trans*. i would love to meet deaf people who are also...

new york could be nice but these days it's impossible to really live there unless you're filthy rich :/ and tourist economies are really risky. am i being too picky? i would really rather not live on the west coast because it's so far away from everybody i know and (at this point) i can't...

i live in virginia and want to get out. i know everybody will say rochester ny, but i have family in new hampshire and was born in vermont.... any good places in those states? place recommendations in connecticut, upstate ny, massachusetts would be cool too. maine is ok i guess but the current...

hello hello! my name is cody. i wear hearing aids - without them i'm severely deaf, can't hear anything, but with them i hear pretty well, so i was raised mainstream, and never felt like i could really connect with other deaf people my age. now that i'm older and ready to move out of state, i...
