When deaf/hh people speak, the hypocrisy from the deaf culture

The hypocrisy is out there. You have some people in the culturally deaf community who will attack other deaf/hh people who prefer to speak but will not attack others who do use their voice in videos without captioning or transcript. I've provided two examples of that and how the culturally deaf community remained largely mum about these two incidents. One was when two videos were produced aimed at "hearing people only" with no captioning or transcript and another by a chapter president of the California Association of the Deaf who spoke in front at the state legislature and not signed at all despite being "proud" of his signing (ASL) heritage. And so I've decided to produce a video for hearing people only or at least those who can understand the spoken word and show exactly what the hypocrisy I'm talking about. And, if you decide to call me out for not providing caption or transcript, start with Deaf Jeff first. And then perhaps later I'll be all too happy to provide subtitle or transcript. Also, don't bother using the YouTube's instant captioning because as you probably already know it majorly sucks.

Mike, I look forward to subtitles when you're ready to share your two cents about your thoughts on hypocrisy within the deaf community. I'm not here to attack you, but most certainly am curious to what you have to say about those who practice hypocrisy. Thanks, Dawn

@DawnSchriver Did you get Deaf Jeff's transcript from two of his videos?

[kokonutpundit]

@DawnSchriver Well, did you?

[kokonutpundit]

@kokonutpundit I don't need to. I heard every word he said.

Ive noticed though, whether its deaf/HH or whatever people in general are hypocrites.
