Hi, it's the previous Anon. I was going to launch into the longest rant possible with a character limit, but I'm saving that for later. Basically, I want to know: why do so many Deaf people have something against hearing people? Yeah, I know that a lot of hearing people are ignorant/uninformed about deafness and Deaf culture, but I wish you guys would stop ripping on ALL hearing people and generalizing us as a group, because we're not all the same. Please don't take this the wrong way. Thanks.
Because with 35 million deaf/HOH people in this country the Super Bowl showed 3 seconds of sign language.
Because the actors in Switched at Birth talked their signs, and normally people don’t do that.
Because to get hearing aids, it is considered ‘cosmetic’ and insurance companies don’t cover it.
Because deaf/HOH people have a higher chance of being brutalized by police for not following orders they can’t hear.
Because deaf children statistically will never rise above a 3rd grade reading level- ever.
Because when deaf people attend events, their translators are their ‘plus one’. (Marlee Matlin has said this).
Hearing people have never, ever, ever, allowed deaf/HOH people access to their world. So we created our own. Stay out.
funniest thing ever said to me was “you can’t use deaf as an excuse every time you don’t hear something.” to me, a deaf person,,

That’s why he rarely speaks

Okay but to expound on my deaf!Harry post…
- Dumbledore contacts Lupin before Harry attends Hogwarts and has him learn sign language and hires him as an interpreter for Harry during classes
- Snape: “are you listening to me potter?”
Harry, speaking to the best of his ability: “to be fair I can’t listen to anyone, however I was, in fact, paying attention”
-Hermione tirelessly helping Harry with speech and pronunciation so he can get spells right
-Ron aggressively trying to learn sign language to communicate with Harry and he’s so embarrassed he can’t get the hang of it at first but Harry thinks it’s the nicest thing anyone has ever done for him because what are friends??
-Draco, mouthing: “I hate you”
Harry, misreading hate as date: “If you wanted a date you should have said something sooner.”
-Harry signing rude things at Umbridge.
Umbridge: “What did he say!?”
Lupin: “he said you’re charming.”
-The entire Weasley family learning basic sign language for whenever Harry is with them, making him feel more at home since the Dursley’s never made a decent effort with it.
- McGonagall aware of Harry’s condition from observation at the Dursley’s prepared and learned sign language and signs when she can during her class, allowing Lupin the occasional break.
McGonagall: “You’re not sneaky Mr. Weasley; I very well know what you just signed.”
- Voldemort monologuing in sign language
Harry: “I’m sorry I don’t understand, I’m blind.”
Voldemort: “??????”
epikalstorms
God Voldemort learning sign language just so he can monologue to his nemesis is honestly something he’s actually Edgy and Ridiculous enough to do
Voldemort, signing: “Harry Potter-”
Harry: *closes his eyes*
Voldemort: “Wha- no. Wormtail. Wormtail, make him open his eyes.”
Me (at the hairdresser): Ok so I am going to have to take my hearing aids out if you’re going to wash my hair or spray me with water. You’ve got the reference pictures, is there anything else you need before I do that?
Hairdresser: No, I’m good.
Me: Ok. Because just so you know, I won’t be able to hear you without my hearing aids.
Hairdresser: LOL I know, so obvi...don’t worry I get it.
Me: okay... *takes the hearing aids out*
Hairdresser: *immediately begins trying to have a conversation with me*
Me:
When your friends make sure that the closed captions are on, without you asking. That’s the best kind of friends.
Shoutout to all the closed captioning writers out there who go the extra mile. Prefacing someone’s line with <in bad British accent > really adds something special. #deafproblems
