Sigh. Maybe I did push you around a little bit when I added the comments, but all I saw was what you had posted. I can't twist your words around if I'm asking you questions and asking for clarification.
And by your definition, its OK to make the connection between the two terms, Deaf and disability just because its according to the law. Ya know, at one time, in the history of the US, when a black man voted, it was only counted as a quarter of a white man, according to the law during that time. The implications given by you, you'd say its okay because that was the law? And let's not even get started with women rights in the past.
With that said, I see you're giving the implication that its okay to continue making the connection as mentioned? You see, I'm one of those people who strives to change that view, that thinking, the framing of how people see the typical Deaf person. As long as you continue to think, hey that's the legal term, you ultimately are supporting the fact that Deafness is a disability.
And in my opinion? You either accept or deny this. Meaning you are either with the idea or against the idea that Deafness is a disability.
I'd continue and discuss your rebuttals, but you didn't answer most of the questions that I asked.
Shrug. Regarding your previous post, as opposite? I wrote accordingly as I read it. And most people didn't take it that way because they don't have the framing in their mind yet, or rather have yet to reset/redefine the framing in their mind. So yeah, of course I'm "jumping the gun" because of the negative associations
