Deaf fetishes? Really? I've always gotten the exact opposite! ROTFLMAO! Seriously.

No one? I guess that's too bad.

I had that problem Oct to Feb 2011. My hearing aid broke and my CI is severely limited due to congenital deformities. My status at my job deteriorated so bad that I couldn't fix it with my employers. So, backed into a corner and threatened, I just quit the job. I just couldn't fight with them...

This is educational. Can I give you another scenario? I'm deaf and I speak English, but I want to learn ASL so I can communicate with the deaf without needing my own interpreter. It would be nice to be a bilingual deaf person instead of just a product of education from oralist jerks. Would you...

I have a CI. I would not want the frequent surgeries because every time it gets opened up, there's more and more scarring. Scarring can ruin the device and cause surgical complications. I don't want to ever replace my internal component unless it somehow breaks. The outer processor is getting...

HI! :wave: I have recently moved to Las Vegas to live with my godmother. I would love some help making some connections. I want to get to know new people and go hang out with people. I don't know anyone else here. I am deaf, but I have difficulty with ASL due to my limited knowledge. I would...

I moved to Las Vegas recently. So I guess I'm already here. Now I just need to keep some money put away. I am deaf with a cochlear implant, but I don't know how to sign very well. I have attempted to find material online to help. But hopefully, maybe I can find someone who will take me under...

What happened to J'Noel is a civil rights violation, whether the law recognizes it as such or not. F***ing bulls***.

Don't piss me off, Steinhauer. :pissed: I'm an Aspie, autisitic. Tom-ay-to tom-ah-to. I have empathy. All Aspies have empathy. The true difficulty lies with the identification of facial expressions, body language, and matching them to a specific emotion. It takes time to learn how to read...

Both, actually. If some people are not mentally mature enough for certain discussions, should we still allow them to participate anyway? LOL. I wish we could ban mentally immature people, though. Children, mentally immature, tom-ay-to, tom-ah-to.

Thanks for the study. If I ever have to do research for school again, I'll come back to this. (I'm a medical freak, forensic too.) Repeating "we are animals" "are not" "are too" is how children argue. Are children even allowed in the GLBT Lounge? Or any other relationship threads? Aside from the...

Number one rule in debate: for your argument to be effective, even valid, you must anticipate any corners you back yourself into, and have valid rebuttals ready. Rebuttals must also be statements, not vague "explanations."

I was raised by a hearing family to speak English. My mum disapproved of ASL. I'm glad there's nothing else physically wrong with me, like my bio brother who inherited the family curse of dyslexia. (I still hold out hope that based on my not getting dyslexia, my future kids won't.)

You can access studies on Google. Advanced. If you can translate the medical jargon, it's all there. Why is it that people love to make laws telling others what to do, laws that aren't even a matter of safety, etc etc. People with power love any excuse to wield that power. Hence, they picked on...

I have early memories of being different from my two sisters. I was a tom who ran away from makeover plots. Because boys were jerks in junior high, I gravitated toward girls. I'd peep at my gymmates in the locker room. (Ack! I know.) Then in high school, I was a loner. I generally just watched...

Anytime I go into a fast food place, I just read the menu and ignore the employee at first. Then, I only make eye contact once I've decided. Then I give my order with specifics. "Footlong italian bmt with pepperjack cheese, toasted. Chipotle, honey mustard, lettuce, tomato, pickles, olives...

Another bisexual here to protest the erroneous view that homosexuality is a choice. I add one more animal example: penguins. There was a male gay couple attempting to nest a rock like it was an egg. Zookeepers gave them a real one and the penguin couple raised the chick just fine. Also, I was...

My biggest problem is finding a TV and DVD player connection that captions all DVDs, regardless of CC options available. No DVD CC, there's always TV CC, that kind of connection. Certain combinations don't work.

:( I had a boring beige one with flesh-colored earmold. My mom wouldn't allow me ever get anything fun. Apparently, she wanted me to look normal. Bitch. Ashamed of me, aren't you, Mum? :roll: If I had a choice, I would have gotten blue hearing aids with green earmolds back then. :hmm...

Cued speech: AKA INSULTING FAKE SIGN LANGUAGE!!! Ack! Did nothing but piss me off pretty good back in the day.
