You're right it doesn't, But, audism gets thrown around quite liberally these days in the Deaf community, I would know because I've been a member since 2003. The word "audim" had been used inappropriately, so therefore we need to educated people on the actual definition and appropriate use of that word.
I don't believe that, I'm sorry. how can people prejudge what she will do as a president when she hasn't became a President yet? They haven't gave her a chance. The blogs and the postings on the Web sites all over the place talked about the fact that she didn't learn to sign until she was 23 years old, how she wasn't deaf enough and etc. So tell me how that has nothing to do with the protest? I truly believe that was part of the reason of the protest.
