Ugh. This reminds me of 'transablism' - one of those few things that make sick to your stomach reading about...

LMAO I guess I learnt how to go beast mode from my sisters, cos I am a guy :S

Have I ever claimed to represent everyone? No. Have I ever made any statements/assertion that I claim is true for the whole group? No. So GTFA and think of a better retort than that. I do feel sorry for DeafDyke that she had the experiences that she had, but I do not feel sorry for highlighting...

What DeafDyke is doing is not sharing her experiences. What she is doing making sweeping statements about anyone and everyone who uses HAs and CIs and oral languages. I'm not against her doing the first, I'm against her doing the second and doing it every-****ing-where. Deal with it. I don't...

Mongol Rally - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia ... Lmao perfect road trip :lol:

Thank you! Sound Recover seems incredibly promising and hoping for a lot out of it.

Same! I kind of got rude on the other thread going all-hell-unleashed about her consistently attacking people who are mostly oral. :S

Ambrosia - is your cochlea 'abnormal' or something like that? (Sorry I don't mean to use a negative word like that but couldn't find an adequate substitute)

Awesome that you kept at it. I gave up playing the piano when I was a teenager as I basically either wanted to be watching telly, playing outside or (later on) working for more money by working on the after school cleaning crew. I had no pocket money :-( Lmao.

Sorry, didn't see this earlier. Will emphasise, as you cannot read apparently, this sentence I wrote: "They ALL speak great. Some of them do sign as well. And they've not sacrificed their ordinary education for speech therapy time at all." No, I am not against advocating for sign language for...

I know a Deaf woman who has heard nothing in her life, is fluent in sign language, and can speak perfectly well. It was a shock to me to see that she never wore hearing aids, but learnt how to speak using vibrations from another's throat.

Yep I have. Shite school. Shite staff. You were a bloody lucky kids if you got accepted to the mainstream program at a city high school, as several of my friends were. Thanks bro. You play pretty well, how long have you been playing? Can you play other instruments? I also feel fortunate to be...

Sorry for the late reply. Hey guess what? I'm not 'parroting' the "OMG it's so wonderful..." line. I'm saying that it's what it is - being oral has allowed me to live life, to make friends and flat with other hearing people, to have better job prospects, heck to even bitch and yell at one of my...

Why is it "emulating"? Have you considered the fact that most deaf kids come from hearing parents? What's wrong with children knowing their parents language(s) if there is a way to access it via cochlear implant/hearing aids. Sometimes that doesn't work and of course the main language should be...
