Remember that youtube video of woman who hears for the first time?
Well, she came out with a book called Powered On The SOUNDS I Choose to Hear and the NOISE I Dont. I was reading an article about it and she was quoted as saying, “I started realizing that there were others out there like me,” she said. “People who longed to feel whole…” I just want to say that feeling whole and complete should not depend on external circumstances. This is enlightenment 101. Wholeness comes from within. We are all Divine Creatures and are perfect as we are.
Frankly, it is offensive to people who choose to be Deaf. It is audist to assume that people who do not perceive frequencies on the same spectrum as the majority are somehow less human. The problem is intolerance for diversity of linguistic minorities.
I understand people have the freedom to choose what frequency spectrum to allow into their sensory apparatuses. But I do not appreciate being told I am incomplete or less whole because I don’t put a machine in my head. Thank you very much. Deaf Power.

Well said… I just don’t understand why these audists cannot simply accept the way we are. Why is it so important to them to “fix” us?? Geez. Bug off, will ya?
Thank you for pointing out that a machine in our head is unnecessary!
Deaf Power to all -
Thank You. It’s hard to fight to powerful capitalists who exploit us by calling us disabled so they can “fix” us and make money. We must fight to be accepted as a diversity with intrinsic value who we are. We are a linguistic minority. We were not put on this planet for someone to colonize and homogenize for their own profits! Down with audism!
