What Does Deafhood Mean To You? (Part I of II)

[woodcountry11]

Hello, Im deaf. My mind picture word deafhood. To me deafhood sound like deafhook. Nooooo waaaay! I dont like word deafhood. Please dont do that. Sound awful to me. I dont mind deafness as person. Deafhood as gang as against people. I love being deaf as being human. Hearing and deaf are being human. You grew up being deaf and know whats going on as hard life. That is normal. Nothing wrong with that. Most of time deaf always says i can do it like nike says just do it. Ofc! True!!! Dont struggle

For some reason, my video wouldn't work on my Mac computer. I'll try to fix that tomorrow, hopefully! OK, I spent my time looking and learning what those extraordinary people said. To me, Deafhood is when deaf people are interpreted normality in a different way. They argued that the deaf community is a legitimate cultural group in a reasonable and not abnormal way. I would like to say that I, deaf person both actively and passionately fight for my rights for true equality and acceptance.

Great video. I am, of course, not deaf, however, I believe if what you are communicating is truly important, - if you really believe in what you are saying - you should caption your video, and make your message available to as many people as possible.

Lovely video.

As a hearing person who knows a little sign I think this is a BRILLIANT idea both for the deaf community and the hearing community. We are one, we are all the same. The only thing that separates us is language and knowing HOW to communicate. We learn, we appreciate, we share then we understand. Takes time, patience and CARING. God bless you all for sharing your stories and thoughts with those of us who hear and in my case PARTLY understand what sign I can catch with what little I know. THANKS

I would love to do this. But I'm half deaf, and I have Cerebral Palsy so my signs are messed up.

[hamolina]

I've have had cerebral palsy friends sign.

You can still sign. Don't accept the "NO's"

[Itxx]

hearing people can't understand my signing but deaf people can. I wonder why... I have to fingerspell a lot of things.

[smokingmonkeyvideos]

I have to admit this was very intriguing and fascinating and a great project. A round of applause to all who participated with their own opinion of deafhood. =D

[daknfwb65]

This really inspired me and feel proud who I'm as a deaf indiviual. Awesome video! If God doesnt make us as deaf, we wouldn't be here on the earth.
