URGENT QUESTION FOR THE DEAF COMMUNITY

if someone is given a sign name based off of their real name (first initial, etc) but later changes their name (because they’re trans or otherwise), does their sign name change too? i don’t mean hypothetically i mean has anyone had this experience before

Have you heard of AUDISM?

(Phonocentrism is a form of audism in the Deaf community.)

This is a TOPIC that needs to be discussed, but rarely is. Some people inadvertently display audism (not autism) tendencies because they are simply unaware of such a thing. It is my hope to bring awareness and realization to this very real topic.

Perhaps you’ve demonstrated audism unknowingly or maybe even knowingly. What can you do about it now that you are more aware of what it is? 🤟🏼

Hi, my loves!

I would absolutely love it if you could answer this quick questionnaire about museum visits and your habits if you have a diagnosis, disabillity or disorder <3

It is a quick introductory questionnaire for us to focus our efforts on this project, and any help or tips would be greatly appreciated <3

Note: if any of the wordings / language used is ableist or slurs, please, please let me know so I can rectify it!

Sometimes people ask stupid questions when they don’t fully understand something. But here is my new post about the most cringe-worthy questions people who are deaf get asked is proving how surprisingly tone-deaf people can be (pun not intended).

Do not assume that we, deaf people who aren’t physically capable of doing regular things.

People who are hearing often think that having the ability to hear automatically means you have a “perfect” life. But seriously, they’ve never experienced our life or our world.

—Shocking Questions People Who Are Deaf Get Asked All The Time

“Can deaf people drive?”

“Do deaf people use Braille?”

Like, “Are you really deaf?”

“Do you need a Wheelchair?”

“How can you be a parent if you can’t hear your baby cry?”

“Is sign language a universal language?”

“Do deaf people actually have sex?”

“Can you date hearing people like me?”

“So if we hook up and does it means am I going deaf?”

Deafblr, can you confirm or deny?

Some deaf people might not even know that farting makes a sound, meaning that they probably often let out hugely loud farts in public.
