My name is Scott Turnage and a deaf man. I grew up with my family. There is a deprevised language that I feel missing and not welcome to s deaf community. I watch your vlog and that makes sense that we have a sign language in a deaf world without deprevised language. That's the problem for eliteism who has a fancy ASL not us who has a fair ASL. I understand that we just get along w our sign language. We can get deprevised language out of it and involved in a deaf community as picks the language up and with communicate we feels belongs not eliteism. I appreciate your vlog. I have that experience with my own eyes.thank you.
Thank you for your perspective. I am a late-deafened adult but have been increasingly involved in the Deaf community in the last 15 years. I feel more comfortable in the Deaf community but although I have been signing for many years I have come to accept that I will always have a “ hearing brain “ 😕
I'm not quite sure how the hearing pathological system created Elitism amongst the Deaf Community. Growing up in the 80's - I had to work very hard and like most small societies, went through "rite of passage" to be accepted in the Deaf community (MSSD). Early 90's thing were still great with all kinds of Deaf peers being patient, friendly and inclusive.However, after 1995 onward, there were a huge rift inside the Deaf Community - the Deaf Elites were mostly from multiple generations of Deaf families or rarely, if born from a hearing non-signing family but raised in a Deaf school from preschool onward - were able to pass as an Elite Deaf status. This is the Deaf Elite individual's responsibility to NOT reject newcomers. Sure, it's not Deaf individuals' job to become an ASL teacher - so referring people to master ASL from school is encouraged. However, we are still responsible to invite newcomers, be patient and include them in our social events. Sadly, now with no more Deaf Clubs, it's very difficult to get together to have shared experiences and real life interaction on a social level. With the Theoretical ASL being sprung upon new students and getting confused with Common ASL - it's no wonder there's so much confusion going on. Sadly, with hearing non-signing families being brainwashed to put invasive C.I. in deaf infants; Alexander Graham Bell encourage hearing parents to teach "ASL" to their hearing babies to reap money but forbiddening deaf parents to teach deaf babies ASL is just completely oxymoron. What can we do to stop the rift amongst our Deaf community? Just like how the Highlander Scottish Jacobites fought with each other and the English Colonists invaded their country and defeated them. Same with the Native American Indians in the US, some tribes warred with other tribes and when the white settlers invaded their lands... they lost due to not being united to defend themselves. We may be the last generation of Deaf people without CI/hearing aids who are dominantly ASL signers. Why aren't we rejecting CI and DNA stem cell research... why are we being pressured to be hearing? Because we are NOT united in strength to fight back TOGETHER. Divided we fall, united we rise. Up to us to solve within our own community and get rid of the elitist attitude and work humbly as a teamplayer.
[TRANSCRIPT 2/2] My children are deaf. They will inherit my community. So right now, my thinking is-- "How do I personally contribute to and nurture the health of the Deaf community?" And I recognize that it starts with- not start with, but one of the many things that we should do as a community is-we can't be gatekeepers or be resistant towards other deaf people who didn't have the same access growing up. Why? Because our community is infighting right now. Really, who made that division happen? Who put that spectrum there? Look bigger. It's the system. Because of the medical system, the education system... Because of our hearing-based society, most deaf children born to hearing parents are herded towards hearing and speech. They miss out on our community and language. And then someday, somehow, somewhere- those deaf people find our community, and they feel, "I don't fit in. I don't meet their specific criteria." And they blame us, and we point fingers to each other. The truth is, we were put in this position by the system. So... Where do we start? I think everyone on this spectrum has our own set of privileges. Now, where do we go from here? I don't know. Trust that deaf people are here. We have our own way of life. And sign language? Trust in sign language. Everyone should sign.That is the language of deaf people, and everyone benefits from it. Signing is beautiful. Signing is our culture. Just nurture that, and welcome everyone to be part of it. I know it's not that simple, but that's just where my head's at. That's what I wanted to bring to this discussion. Thank you for listening.
IT IS TOUGH for sure! I love BOTH hearing world, with myself wearing Cochlear Implant, and being involved in the Deaf Elite Community with strong ASL and Deaf culture......
i agree with u , im a hard of hearing attended deaf school, im grow up with hearing family, i do believe hearing people should learn sign languages if u have a child who is deaf or anyone boy or girl want to be friend with other who is deaf, should be learn sign languages because they will understand each other by talking with own hands. open up to any hearing people do sign languages, i hope in the future will be much better than years ago. i know u did talked about two different ways, deaf and hearing. i know u are right that how i feel same way... i live with two worlds that who i am.
Thanks for the link to the video and the captions! I needed to be able to slow down the speed a lot - either you have speeded up the video or you sign very quickly? I don't know asl and need to watch things in kind of slowmotion to get it. Got to read captions very slowly too due to brain fatigue.

Hello! I'm a brand new HoH subscriber watching from London.
Thanks for the link to the video and the captions! I needed to be able to slow down the speed a lot - either you have speeded up the video or you sign very quickly? I don't know asl and need to watch things in kind of slowmotion to get it. Got to read captions very slowly too due to brain fatigue.
I did speed the video up a bit. RUclips's speed control feature to the rescue!
glad to know! I was feeling bummed at not being able to keep up 😆
Yes.. it is our time
