There are basically one or two official definition of audism so I find it pretty hard to see how your definition is different than what I use...please know I didn't create that definition..I may say it in my own style but the basic meaning is pretty much the same as the original 1975 definition was and I use the AFA's definition which is the best one so far.

hiya. Been flying and doing workshop all days yesterday and today. I'm truly sorry to see what's happening over at DVTV now. Sorry too to see some of you feeling frustated as I am about DVTV. We are seeking a new home that is clearly not afraid to declare the intention to be audism free.

TheLeeWee...nope, I disagree that audism the word is overused. It's just "begun to live"...and there's so much work ahead of us to clear out the cobwebs of audism. Just peel them off your eyes & seeeeee!!

Aguabo's last vlog "An Open Letter to the Deaf Video Community" was FINALLY removed after several emails to Tayler. I AM guessing it may still be on YouTube. Have you tried checking it on YouTube?

I will make vlog with several questions about Audism this morning.

TheRogue1668, yes that's what I learned recently...Tayler is either too busy or intentionally holding some accounts hostage, refusing to let them go when requested. Wonder if there's a way we can do it ourselves, disconnecting from DVTV but keeping YouTube accounts?

[posietea]

agreed
