Where is Deaf identity in an aural society? | Lauren Stevens | TEDxVUW
In a hearing society where spoken language is the norm, there is a lack of awareness and understanding of Deafness as a culture of its own. Society is not united by similarities, but by differences between individuals. By encompassing more positive attitudes towards Deaf people and sign language, it would broaden the linguistic and cultural identities that make up a society. We have the ability to make communication accessible to those who do not communicate aurally and by doing so, it would break down language barriers and open doors for awareness of Deaf culture and how we are able to embrace the differences between the Hearing world and the Deaf world.

Meanwhile the anosmic among us get no love. I demand equal representation in the media for those born without a sense of smell in a world that can.

Deafness IS a disability, denial isn't gonna change anything. If deaf people want to take comfort in their own community and develop their own culture, I don't have a problem, but don't expect sane people to just accept it when anyone insists that deafness is not a disability, only an identity.

aren't deaf people just deaf people.
