why does this GIF have so many notes?
yet when WE, ie DEAF PEOPLE post things about how awesome we are no one pays attention. im sick of people only paying attention when hearing people speak about d/Deaf HOH people.
LISTEN TO US. THE DEAF PEOPLE.
and why are we cool?? im sorry. but im cool becuse im a cool person. NOT BECAUSE im Deaf. i just happen to be a cool person who is Deaf.
AND all three signs in this GIF are wrong.
the sign for Deaf is not poking yourself in the face like that, its a verticle finger going from the ear to the mouth or vice versa, representing “cant hear, cant speak”
the sign for people, your fingers are pointing out between the pointer and the middle finger. the middle finger should rest on the thumb, not poke out like that. if i could show you how it looks inappropriate i would. (imagine the letter “P” for people, it represents two legs, but you have your thumb sticking out in between the two legs, what does it look like?? THINK ABOUT IT.)
and finnaly, thats NOT the sign for cool. thats the sign for apple.
JUST SAYIN’
