I don't know a lot of signs but when I see it I know it's signs right away. It shouldn't be hard for people to know when someone is deaf and can't communicate. I know a lot people are ignorant of everything they aren't involved in.
@TravR1 I can't say more because I like your common sense. I tried to lipread like hearing people thought I could be an expert at lipreading...I only lipread and understand less than 25% that I am more comfortable with sign language then people use sign language to make sure I understand better. Some doesn't as well. Thanks!
Agree! Glad you are not alone! Most of us talked and continue to discuss the topic about hearies and deafies. I am glad you caught an eye on this and realized you are a part of us! Smile! Continue watching other topics upcoming! Thanks for watching us
Thanks for sharing your experiences. It makes me feel like I'm not alone.
Yes hearing people are ignorant about deaf people. It's because they have never been exposed to a deaf person before and don't know how to react or what to expect. It's a shame that there isn't more of us deaf people in our population.
