Of course its okay for you to speak out here. Your experience is as valuable as anyone elses...in many cases more so, because you have had more.
I will admit, as well, that I have seen much more talk of being rejected by the deaf community here on AD than I have ever actually seen in real life.
It has been suggested that I never experienced it myself because my son was not implanted, but I truly do not believe that is the case.
