Do we need a term for people who becomes part of the deafhood by entering it and refusing it? Some suggestions: "The Deafhood Paradox", "Stranded in deafhood", "Deafhood anomy", "Prisoners of deafhood".

Now there's something to munch on. :hmm:
 
Can't be ascertained by me however, strange that the "many comments" made on in this forum-at least since I joined almost a year ago suggests such a connection, Valid? Misreading? Have other persons voiced similar "apparent connection"?

deaf militants gave deaf culture a bad name, they arent receptive to people, hearing or deaf, they are just hell bent on power, kind of like the kokonut's opposite, koko is bent on power but loathe deaf culture...militants USES deaf culture as an excuse to excercise their unruly obnoxious behaviours , bullying deaf and hearings alike...

so , NO they are Not connected in a way as you'd like to think (or claim). a real Deaf culturist person is peaceful, cool, calm and collected and naturally doesnt want to 'lead' but will walk side by side to encourage a better, more peaceful path in life, and to help other to actually feel good about themselves AND also so hearing feels welcome to the idea of Deaf culture...

Thats the difference and an important distinction to be made, you must ask, what is the purpose, why are they talking about this in this way? what do they want to achieve, ridicule, riot, a freindship, greater awareness, understanding or what. If you are able to see that, then you would be able to see the differences.

Stop analysing so much, just be.

Of course one can be audist without knowing it. One is not consciously aware of the many ways one is socialized to believe.:cool2:

To be accurate, getting a CI is a way of remediating lack of audiological input. Does nothing to address dealing with deafness as a holisitic condition.

What deaf militants are you referring to? Haven't seen on of those around these parts for several years.

Of course there is such a thing as hearinghood. Look around.

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:

Theyve already clashed.
 
ah, well we've been discussing how hairy these interpretions of Deafhood has been...want to shave off the undesirables? like audists who claim to know about 'deafness' and/or unable to snap out of their overcomer's mindset (thats conformig to hearing-ness...grrr) shall we get back to saying hows the book or its concept is understood

And lastly, for someone so resistant to identifying with Deafhood, you sure like being in the culture and community of the deaf for you are here posting every single day.

One could still be a contributing member of the forum without necessarily identifying themselves with Deafhood.

If one accepts, without questions, the values of a hearing society that is inherently audist, then one must apply those values to their own existence and identity. In other words, accept hearing society's definition of deafness, then you apply it to yourself. You are less than the hearing person.

So no, one cannot promote the vaues and norms of both societies at once without being a HUGE hypocrit.

Sometime it's not a question of that it's the "hearing that is doing something to the deaf". It's just that they have their own problems, needs or wants. And if some of them feel they cannot do more for the deaf, it doesn't necessarily mean "they are doing something to the deaf" on purpose or something. They simply have their own lives to live.

Who said YOU have to do perceive yourself as a "broken hearing" person?

It seems some has issues with my experience as identifying myself as a "broken hearing" person hence all the arguments about it. That was how I identified myself growing up and if it bothers you and others, sorry...not my problem.

You could identify yourself as that all you want. It's just that the other poster made it sound like it was "one or the other" and I was just implying that it didn't necessarily have to be the case. That's all. To each, his or her own.

At least somebody got it and up to date on it instead of assuming.

The full story....here.
Kokonut Pundit: The Meaning of the Word "Cordial"

I met him at the NAD convention in Palm Springs, California in Aug of 2006. This wasn't a planned meeting. Just saw an opportunity to meet him after I saw him walking around at the convention. Didn't realize he was around or would even show up.

Folks, there can be a huge difference seeing and meeting someone in person versus over the internet. I don't care much for him or his antics. Not worth my time in dealing with people who wished a deaf father's baby dead. Be careful who you associate yourselves with.

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:

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.
