Yeah, I actually agree with that (and thank you for wording it so much better than AIRT.) I'm mostly just reminded of an apocryphal story I heard years ago where a deaf woman gave birth to a hearing baby and stuck pencils in her baby's ears to make it deaf. I'm not sure the story is true, but I know a lot of deaf people who think it's okay and I wish I didn't.

Wow. I really hope that is just an urban legend (to Snopes!), but that people actually think it would be cool if it happened is scary.

Re: DA

Yeah, that's the problem with the deaf community. What started off as a need for solidarity in the face of discrimination has now become a very insular group that just as easily tears down its members as it fights against ableism that isn't always there.

It is scary to think you might no longer be needed, but then you have to take a step back and remember why you were needed in the first place. Not just for deaf support groups, but for a great many groups, do you learn to let go and move on or do you perpetuate the same status quo that you formed to help cope with, just to avoid that fear of change? For some people that means also going from being a big noise in a small pond to just another fish like everyone else on the reef. It can be a real loss of status too.

It just amazes me how cruel some deaf are to hard of hearing people. Like if you wear a hearing aid you're somehow not "really" deaf.

turn off that bullshit

Oh, the Total Silence guys? The ones that say that anything except complete acceptance of deafness is allowed, and you shouldn't try to hear because that is not your world and you are a deaf-traitor if you try? Those guys are assholes.

Re: DA

I think the fact that they actually have a NAME just makes me hate them even more.

....I personally think (I may be wrong) the residential schools played a big part in the psychological...issues...Deaf people have, IMO. After all, look at the results the residential schools had on the (undisabled) First Nations kids; there are/have been documented intergenerational effects (i.e., the kids of the kids who went to residential school but never went themselves, are affected). Especially Deaf children who were forced to be oral, but then not really given the proper tools to be able to function in society, and still isolated from wider society, after they got out of the schools.
