I feel you all the way, and we are in the same boat! Way to go and Good message to others. Coach Creech
I agreed with you! Same thing with me if anyone who insulted me that they are better than me, I did smile or laughed then walk and reject them anyway because I know that I will have better day without them! My 2 thumbs up on your message!
Of course yes, I have seen that people who did to other people. I am not very impressed with them. That is what we call them AUDISTS (hearing or hard of hearing or deaf with or without CI) who think their speech and hearing are better than others in very immature and ill attitudes.
The audists are no difference from racists, sexists and ableists.
You are right there are many hearing, hard of hearing, deaf with or without CI people are wonderful people with positive attitudes.
AGBEll needs to be aware about their attitudes toward ASL. If they respect ASL, things will be much much better.
We are waiting for AGBELL to change. If AGBELL refuses, then ACBELL will always practise audism. IN AGBELL's world, it is not about choices it is about attitudes.

Yes yes! Exactly ... *big grin* I've enjoyed watching your vlog!
Exactly, exactly!! I have some friends who are CI users and they are nice people. We have a nice chat together. I have great hearing friends, too. Some other audits treated me badly and I lost the respect for them. It depends on their attitudes. It is also coming from their parents or/and teachers with the attitudes when they look down on Deafies and ASL users.
Unique ponit! I agree with you.
I secondly w/you..
Whoever spoke out of loud mouth, "I'm better than you because can hear and talk" Yeah right! (nodd'n) Wha..ever Depend vary people who implanted their ci not make it still welcome part of us Deaf Community no difference...
Im not flicking anyone.
Just Human Being! (sigh)
I just don't want to hear who person spoke out of loud mouth due too egoist!
Perhaps it's not their fault that they act that way. It might be the people influencing them.
Once I interviewed a student who did not sign. She said firmly but quietly, "I don't sign. I lipread well and I can talk well. I can hear some, too."
Following my routine, I signed and spoke slowly, "we use both sign and lipreading in this school--"
She begged, "PLEASE DON'T SIGN". I ignored her and continued with the interview as before, explaining about the program.
Suddenly her mother came into the room (she had been watching from the hall) and rudely slapped my desk. The mother pointed to her mouth as she said in exaggerated clear lipreading mode: "WE-DO-NOT-SIGN. WE-SPEAK-AND-LIPREAD-ONLY."
Well, I was flabbergasted. Even though it was before the ADA, ASL was nevertheless accepted in both NTID and Gallaudet. The interview ended and I never saw the prospective student or her mother again.
I agree.
A bit off the topic here, it will be FABULOUS if someone can type up a text or close caption your vlog, non signers and new ones realllllllly need to hear what you say.
Hi Dianrez
The mother HAS NO RIGHT TO TELL YOU WHAT TO DO! Her attitude is UNACCEPTABLE. She should approach you properly in respect. She did not do that to you therefore she has a serious ill attitude and is an audist. That is as simple as possible.
Audists tend to say I can hear better than you or a group and I can speak better than you or a group. Your sign language is futile or not important or is inferior to English language. That is audism.

ASLPride,
I did not have an opporunity of viewing your vlog presentation about how you will deal with the so-called audists.
I am currently in West Virginia for the emergency family matters right now.
I always trust you and your judgement and beliefs why and what you espouse your thoughts on deaf issues.
I could say that I am with you all the way. I also feel strongly and disgusted when anyone being audistic toward me.
No questions about handful of deaf individuals getting superficial about their spoken prowess and look down on any of us, culturally deaf. That is not acceptable at all.
Who the f--k the so-called audists think? Hell with them!
I also got my stomach churned upside down when my hearing brother and non-biological father and the hearing lawyer spoke orally without accomodating me to the equal accessibility to be part of the ongoing conversation on important family matters with the family property.
Those individuals definitely insulted me and to the memory of my deceased deaf mother no matter how they were part of my family.
F--k them! I walked out and refused to sign the deed to sell the family property and split $$ equally.
I rather have my family members embrace me in acceptable fashion like signing in front of me, not engage in audist mode.
So I have to let the family property go to rot to teach the entire family the real lesson for not treating me with respect I deserve as a culturally deaf person.
Ditto to my family! They should know better than undermining the memory of my deceased deaf mother and me and other deaf cousins.
That really disgust me pretty much. I successfully persuaded one hard of hearing person to join me on the crusade against audism. I just met her yesterday. She already got on the bandwagon. Smile!

Dianriz,
I would guess why the hearing mother slammed on the desk to get your attention, it was that you became a undignified human being because you used sign language.
Many people think American Sign Language is an inferior method to communicate, therefore people who uses sign language deserve "no dignity" status and can be abused easily like white people did to black people in the past.
It seems true that deaf people do not have dignity because they accept that attitudes from hearing people.
It's time to change and stand up to those audist.
Dianrez,
I could envision a mental picture of a scene between you and the said mother.
That was a form of maternalism
(paternalism for males).
Some children are so intelligent that they know that his parent/parents are WRONG and leap over the wall or rebel WITH a cause.
Some deaf adult oralists suffer guilt complex for having obeyed their parents unthinkably during their school ages and have to use
defense mechanism, concealing their guilt by acting audists' protégés.
Thank you for sharing your feedback and story. Yes, audists is center of this problem. Again, dianrez make valid statement that other people could influence the audists.
dianrez, your mom should not do that, but I hope you can learn from your experience and educate other people to avoid your situation for deaf child/children. No one deserves this experience.
anne marie: Yes, translate need for this video for other people who don't understand ASL. I will try asking my brother to see if he is willing to do this job for me. If he is busy with his job, then I will try asking for volunteers to translate this video.
RLM, I am close to go ahead and do the vlog on audism. I still see some people misinterpreted the term of audism. I will try my best to clarify on it. As David identify those deaf people as audists that who have an attitude of better than other because they can speak and hear.
Thank you again for sharing your feedback. :)
Hallo ASLpride
I complete support your approach and I will do same thing when i am out of work hours.
In day time i work with people that i have to be neutral which is all different as Hearing, hard of hearing, deafened, Deaf. But i use in ASL for all.
Good Vlog
Greg
TOTAL AGREE! Also I will reject someone when they tell me as insult to me. I have exprience MANY of the time when someone told me I should learn to speak and hearing as in way to insult to me why can't they take respect me? It's my personal, I can learn speak and hearing IF I WANT TO. But I don't want to anyway! That's only 2 thing I will rejects people to do that to me. I don't mind people who more respect and want to be nice as new friend it's NO PROBLEM WITH ME unless NO EGO AND TELL ME WHAT TO DO. that's simple.
