Deaf Chipmunk

Since last summer, we had been divided badly and hurt over different illusions that almost destroyed our friendship and allies. We, the Deaf and ASL people are now back on the track and reconciling ourselves. That is our great moment as part of process. We need to continue to discuss and share ideas even if we agree to disagree in healthy environment. I have seen more and more people are coming back. WE do have HOPE!

Reverse Audim

Based on Reverse Audism? discussion, I am aware that it is just a discussion. However, due to many people who are learning new term of audism and I do not want to add another term such as reverse audism. I feel the discussion of will lead us to nowhere. I also feel it wastes our time. We need to focus one term, the audism and we need to promote awareness about audism to help people understand it clearly.

The term of Audism Free America is appropriate and logical. I checked with other term such as discrimination and I found there are several terms such as Discrimination Free Zone, Discrimination Free Workplace and so on. There is nothing wrong with that term.

I will reject negative and irrelevant comments. I only accept constructive and positive comments.

AFA: Great MOMENT!!!

It is important for us to keep up with our good work against audism. AGBell has failed to show its cooperation with AFA based on its agreement between AFA and AGBell. AFA already informed AGBell that rally would continue on Friday. AGBell had failed to inform AFA that it would make its announcement to denounce AFA. It has shown that AGBell does still practises its old tic tac game against Deaf community. It is time for us to take telfon coat from AGBell that has used for more than 129 years. ENOUGH IS ENOUGH. It is very unfortunate that anti AFA people have failed to recognize a huge problem of audism everywhere. Anti AFA people (who intend to destroy AFA at any cost - that does not apply to people who have some disagreements with AFA but have some agreement with AFA - I bless them for reasonable feedbacks), have failed to see the whole pictures. They only see D2 while we see D3. We will fight for them, the anti AFA people as well as Deaf, deafened and hard of hearing people.

We welcome anyone including anti AFA people to join us to fight against audism. We believe in justice for all of us.

I will reject negative and irrelevant comments. I only accept constructive and positive comments.

The Canadian Hearing Society (CHS) in Ontario has approved a new policy of Anti Audism Policy. It has been enforced since last year. CHS successfully got funding from Ontario government to set up a new anti audism project to educate public.

Audism is not dead and is very much alive and is about to walk on red carpet all the way to the world of dictionary!!!!! Anti AFA people have failed to prevent that.

Thank you

Deaf Gone ASL Gone?

There are some people who feel that ASL is more important than Deaf and other feel that ASL is as important as Deaf and they depend on each other.

Please be advised that I have right to publish or deny your comments.

The Health Care system’s negative approach toward deaf can be prevented! The approach can be changed to positive by  empowering and providing parents healthy information about Deaf resources and Bilingualism (ASL and English).

All hearing babies got their language rights automatically while most of Deaf babies don’t. Deaf babies’ human rights and language rights have been violated almost every time when they were born!

Hi there,

This is my response to people who feel that I labelled people Deafhood. And also to people who have accused Deafhood as a cult. Deafhood is just a concept. No one on earth is deafhood or deafness.

To make it clear is that I do not label people at all. I realize that some people got wrong information because of one person who has made many people confused. I am extremely concerned about that.

I will be away today for camping and won’t be back till Sunday. I may be able to post your comments on Sunday or Monday.

I have learnt my lesson.  There will be NO personal insulting in any response. This is about the Deafhood and my perspective nothing more nothing less.

I want you to be aware is that I have every right to reject or accept if there is any insulting or fighing (more of domestic fights) You know police officers dread that job so am I. That applies to any of you (even my closest friends, strangers, supporters, opposers). I may have every right to do whatever I decide as it is my vlog/blog.

I hope my comment will help all of us to understand and learn more aobut Deafhood. I am still learner and I am no expert. It is based on my personal research (I have two Deafhood books and people). I am more than happy to be corrected or criticized properly.

If your comment is not there, you must remember that I feel it is not appropriate and please respect my decision. I know it is not easy to make decision but somebody has to do that. Smile

Have a great weekend!

Thanks

This is based on my view. I am no Deafhood expert. Based on my Deafhood book and some discussion with friends/experts, I have decided to make a comment about circle video meetings that I find very interesting.

This morning, I went to store to buy a bottle of water. I saw much less advertisement of cigarette brands in the store. More and more people are non smokers and former smokers because of their anti-smoking awareness.

It just popped up in my mind. There have been many movements against smoking companies and their allies (tobacco industries, politicians, investors). They have succeeded in making smoking companies to admit that smoking habits are dangerous.

Anti smoking groups, who have fought against smoking, tend to have bad experiences such as death in their families, or health problems and even mental health challenges. They also have promoted wellness by marketing healthy lifestyle (exercises, dietary) and even educate parents and their children about smoking so that the children will not go through what they already went through.
In the past, society tended to accept smoking as part of society. But now, smoking is no longer acceptable in our current society. How did that happen? It is all about evidences, statistics, documents, results, reports, wellness, healthy information and many more.

That applies to Deaf movements. They are fighting against anti ASL/Bilingual methods of AGBell and its allies (anti ASL people, anti Bilingual supporters, anti Bilingual/ASL schools, strict AVT supporters, investors, other companies against ASL and Bilingualism) and are promoting Bilingualism/ASL for Deaf babies and their parents. I think DBC is the first official movement to approach AGBell and anti ASL giants assertively to prove that their anti ASL/Bilingual methods have caused so many serious problems and has created unhealthy practices for Deaf community since late 19th century. DBC also appears to be the first official movement to promote Bilingual approach for Deaf babies and their parents.

Now about DBC, it has used same approaches of anti smoking movements. One approach is about fighting against the methods of AGBell and its allies and another approach is about promoting wellness of Deaf lifestyles and ASL/Bilingualism.

I think “Fighting for a good cause and promoting healthy lifestyle of ASL and Bilingualism” is the best practices of all. In my opinion, the concept of fighting without promoting or promoting without fighting is not a good practice.
