Do we have a challenge ahead of us to avoid becoming Hearing?

Almost the same here. I've had 57 years experience with deafness, but only a couple of years knowledge of Deafness. I am still learning.

Exactly ! thats Jill's point, and the difference is not just experience but also respect which means willingness to start as a cultural baby ie in deaf club, or in here in the cyber deaf club, NO ONE likes audist trolls full stop.
Beowolf saw the difference and he/she made allowance for i, and it will pay back handsomely, over time, with true richness that Deaf culture has to offer Beach girl you are missing out on a good thing, all because of the miplace audist pride (and arrogance).

The only ones who fail to understand that seem to be the "audist trolls".:giggle: And it appears that I am their natural target, because their mind is still in the hearing world, and I, a hearing person, comes along and tells them how wrong they are in their perspective. That really pisses them off, because a hearing person is supposed to be on THEIR side. LOL

I think you should use it on your msn. It is a short, concise statement that says it all.

Hey, you can go off topic. It's your thread, lol.

We wouldn't expect you to see it. You are not hearing in biological function alone.
