CI--Deaf or Hearing?

Whoosh! Go back and read your own post. You made the statement that she is referring to. She is Deaf.
You seem to forget what you post rather quickly.
 
You're busy creating an image of a stereotypical Deaf person and you can't understand why you're not accepted. Brilliant!

The problem is that I'm not considered Deaf so that hearing people make stupid remarks about Deaf people to me. I learn which hearing people are audist real quick.

Unfortunately, they are most often in denial over what is so obvious to others.
 
Too bad I wasn't even thinking about Sallylou when I made that comment. But, ok.
 
It's very disturbing when someone works with the Deaf talks about Deaf people like they are another species. Most hearing people consider me an "us" and not a "them."

You made a generalized comment about ALL Deaf, of which sallylou is one.

You really need to take a break. Your contradictions and inability to follow the thread is getting worse by the minute.

Can I ask- why would I respond to any more questions about my personal life when I'll just be labeled an Audist? It doesn't matter what I write- a select few will take it, twist it, stomp on it, eat it, then spew the hatred, nastiness and venom on to me. It seems I cannot write much about this subject without people reading into what isn't there.

Last time someone seemed sincere, I gave a genuine response. To which people took that and ran with it, throwing me in the Audism corner.

No thank you. I have no interest at this point in engaging in further conversation about my choices because no matter what I say, it will be misinterpreted to suit the needs of those who like to think that all (but one) hearing people are Audist.[/QUOTE]

See, you just refuse to accept responsibility for the kind of comments you make. When you get called out on it, you blame it on Deaf people.

If I thought all hearing people were audist, I wouldnt be married to one.

It is poeple who spew out audist comments that makes me see the person as audist.

I never characterized her as anything.
Why are you all so quick to jump on the bandwagon?

Because she was right, and you made yet another offensive remark concerning the Deaf. Good lord, can't you take responsibility for anything you do or say?

I certainly consider you an "us".
 
Thanks, ya'll. It only happens in real life when I'm talking to a hearing person alone with no Deaf people around. Most hearing people don't believe that someone like me would ever consider themselves Deaf. It's wierd.

Sigh...The Ohio School for the Deaf uses an oral approach to educating children. It is not a Deaf school.

Now? The school was signing back in my time. I met them when my alma mater, St. Rita girl's team played basketball against theirs.

Edit: I don't know where did you get this information. Botti posted a link to OSD and it shows the kids signing.

I gotcha. Hearing people in general have such a lack of knowledge and understanding when it comes to anything Deaf or deaf related.
