I think people DO use the stereotypes of the Deaf community to mask their real reason. Although I am sure there are a few deaf people out there are DO give them shit for it. That older man I mentioned earlier? When I told him that I was getting the implant, he started telling me "horror stories" about the CI and told me that he would NEVER get it, but that doesn't mean he "rejected" me. He still talks to me and considers me a friend.
