I'm working on a research paper about sign language legislation and have encountered the rift between disability & linguistic minorities.
I understand the differences, but I want to know how you all feel regarding this issue. I know some deaf people consider themselves disabled, but I think a majority want to be regarded as a linguistic minority.
Thanks in advance for contributing your opinion!
