  • How can anyone oppose deafhood? you are either hearing or deaf.. Doesnt matter, should still support deaf people, otherwise you are denying urself the truth.. Once oppression exists, we become aware of our very existence, like it or not.. oppose us, we thrive more, florish, celebrate and embrace being deaf is all about DEAFHOOD. Wraps everything up, and the end result becomes the central part of our lives to the very core!

  • @dominicerrigo, you do have deafhood is because you re deaf period. it is easy to judge you is because you are deaf that use american sign language but a big favor to cochlear implants corporation which your deafhood is stink. get out of bad deafhood. join good deafhood to stop ethnic cleaner. sorry to hate your deafhood!

  • Ah... I just saw one comment stating that Deafhood did not equal Deaf Culture...hm.

    I am OK with the concept of Deafhood. I'd like to remark on one thing... the majority of deaf people is often late-deafened, already fluent in their first language (usually spoken.) They are part of Deafhood, yeah? Or they'd not be viewed as part of Deafhood until they learn sign language, etc? I am trying to understand.

  • Yes, they are part of Deafhood. However, with how people interpret and preach Deafhood, many of them will disagree with the concept, and I don't blame them for that.

  • deafhood can be about bad and good experience. Deafhood can be USEFUL for our future! To promote ASL Curriculum thru the kind of think tank. Your deafhood would be a wonderful for the think tank! believe me is because i like your mind tons!

  • late deafhood.... welcome to people who is late deafhood. there will be a late deafhood forum. why not?

  • u are misunderstood! oh man!

  • I really think you all are DELIBERATELY misunderstanding what I'm saying.

    *shakes her head*

  • And it looks to us like you are DELIBERATELY misunderstanding what we (and Deafhood) are saying....

  • Don, I directly quoted DeafChip. He says if you oppose Deafhood, you therefore oppose ASL, Deaf Culture and everything Deaf.

    I disagree with that assertion. Pure and simple.

  • I reject the idea that if I don't support YOUR version of what Deafhood is, that means I reject ASL, Deaf Culture and myself.

    Deafhood does NOT equal Deaf Culture. Period.

  • DeafHood is a journey through life AS a Deaf human being. Simple. If you opposite Deafhood, you are at WAR with yourself. Again simple.

  • Sorrrrrry... you are a Deaf period.

  • No kidding? Gee whiz! I never knew that!!!!

  • yeah smarty hands u got...

  • Comment removed

  • To deny Deafhood is to deny yourself and who/what you are. Simple as that. That is why DeafChip said if you deny Deafhood, then you are self-hating.

    As for his recap of the story about Stokoe and his identification of ASL, he was not saying anything about what you know or don't know. He was making the point that some ideas are vehemently rejected by the people, but later found to be right.

    Accept it, Jeannete. Deafhood is right.

  • @DrDonGCSUS

    Slow down, Don. You have no right to judge. I'm deaf, she's deaf, you deaf and we all are deaf. Make it simple and you're promoting division as you just implied to Jeannete.

  • See my first comment above, Don.

  • Deafpundit, if you don't like the word is "Deafhood" then just go on and do something for your deaf community. Remember, I do see in you as personhood, childhood, adulthood, and also as deafhood. Do you know why I said this to you? Because those -hoods are your personal journey and experiences that you're going through this alone same as mine. There is nothing wrong for us to accept as Deafhood. Smile

  • I don't have a problem with the word "Deafhood" I have a problem with people telling me if I don't believe exactly what you believe of what Deafhood is, that means I reject ASL, Deaf Culture and all of those other things.

    THAT is judgmental and divisive.

  • Okay I understand your point of view. I did checked Deafchip's vlog and he did not point to you or others. I know you do not rejected ASL, Deaf Culture or few others things you said. I have no problem with this.

  • You rant Deafhood......rant mean to speak or

    angry or violent manner. I understand you're so angry about Deafhood but I do not understand why you point at Deafhood? I am not sure that you used to be ex core member of DBC? Correct me, wrong? I could not leave the comment under ur vlog cuz seemic isn't working.

  • Ahhh...identity politics.

    I see some people have different perspective, which is fine. If some people feel fulfilled with the concept of Deafhood, I am happy for them. I have my own priorities, but I do enjoy listening, nothing more. Yes, I draw a line at people mocking other people just because their opinions are different.

    Oh well. *shrug*

  • deafpundit=deafpundithood therefore your deaf is equal to deafhood. deafhood is unavoidable.

  • cute rant! we can not deny our babyhood so for our adulthood so for our deafhood too? deny deafhood deny asl. he is right. it is because of logical. not know if its' word do eat people is because of the "hood" hell with it. Deaf Being=Deafhood. It is easy to label you deafhood is because you are deaf that use ASL. Where can I find your vlog about your opposite its' word deafhood? enjoy your deafhood.
