Exactly. There's no need to identify. You can if you want. But I see no need for it, and still can contribute. Anyone can. I've no need for a measuring tape in here.

The only deaf militant on AD that I can think of is a poster whose nickname is Sourmind. Dr.Phil, you don't want to meet Sourmind. lol :P

If Ridor and Koko ever met and clashed on AD, I'm certain fur will fly. :Ohno:

No, I don't think you do. It is one thing to have strong opinions and the intelligence and knowldge to support them, and quite another to have strong opinions and not be able to support them with anything other than ad hominem attacks. We already see enough of that from the conservatives around here!:lol:

An identity is something that everyone not only needs, but must have to lead a productive and reasonably healthy existence. Those that constantly change their identity to suit whatever group they happen to be in proximity to are those that suffer from serious problems.

The fact that you see everything from a "measuring tape" perspective is indicative of the problems you manifest in other areas. It is not the people who ID as Deaf who are so concerned with measurements to determine value, it is the HOH audist.

Blogs.

Really, I'm kind of surprised. This was the stuff of legends and people still don't know about it? :giggle:

Hell with it. Just a footnote now. I've got better things in life. :wave:

O_O such as?

I can't think of any except you being a "deaf drama queen", trolling and goading deafies in your blog and here.

That could be as well. One only need question whether he will ever develop the insight to reach the end of the road: cultural identification.

You are right. Sometimes people die without ever reaching the end of their journey. Sad.

This is a very good point that you made. Identity determines one's position in society...without identity, you are pretty much kaput.
 
about as kaput as a cultural virgin too lmao

sorry the going got weird so the weird got weirder lol

It's a bit of a controversy because... the Brits maintain Deaf of Deaf don't go through a Deafhood journey because they are already born in the Deaf culture, and already has an identity. Those who felt lost in the world usually go through the Deafhood journey. The Americans, however, disagree with the Brits. The treatise has been written, but the application is a bit of a struggle.

So, yes, the concept of Deafhood is based on Paddy's personal experience.

I refrained from expanding more on the topic because I am not a "Deafer than Thou" type who seems to troll me when they gets the chance.

I'm not sure what you mean with the bolded sentence, care to elaborate?

Did Ladd say that Deaf of Deaf don't go through the deafhood journey?

It's probably not anyone here of the kind that drphil are talking about. It's just the old boring "deaf militant" and "anti-ci" crap when someone disagree with them.

It just gets even more pathetic when they even don't dare to name those people they label.

Sorry, but I'm failing to decode this post.

Ladds deafhood will be my next read, so I don't have to ask too many stupid questions here.

Marx wrote the Communist Manifesto, right? Lenin and Mao implemented his ideology as they saw fit. However if Marx was still alive, he would tell us it wasn't what he meant. Too bad Marx was a shitty writer. Brilliant guy, just had a hard time communicating his ideas.

Although I don't think people strayed too far from Paddy Ladd's material. However I will say the ideology has been perverted, but not too much it's not recognizable.

That's the problem with Deafhood, everyone has a different interpretation of it. Even Barry Sewell and Mike McConnell have their own take on it.

No interpretation. Just no need for it.

This is bigger than just a Deaf person's journey into Deafhood. As Ladd states, it is the goal for Deafhood to promote new, healthy relationships between deaf, Deaf and hearing people. We have been damaged by audism and oralism and this concept is to support us to improve the situation such as our attitudes towards ourselves, public attitudes, etc. Ladd calls it the "Deaf Resurgence".

So you say, there is no need for it? That is not for you to decide.
