Have you heard of AUDISM?

(Phonocentrism is a form of audism in the Deaf community.)

This is a TOPIC that needs to be discussed, but rarely is. Some people inadvertently display audism (not autism) tendencies because they are simply unaware of such a thing. It is my hope to bring awareness and realization to this very real topic.

Perhaps you’ve demonstrated audism unknowingly or maybe even knowingly. What can you do about it now that you are more aware of what it is? 🤟🏼

But what’s deafness supposed to look like?

I guess that’s because we, “Deaf folks” have spider eyes, unicorn horns, dinosaur tails, green skins, and that’s what deaf folks look like, right?

I must remind you that there are Deaf/Hard of Hearing folks from all races, ethnicities, and religious.

Even, we have Deaf folks with diverse gender identities and the Deaf community is also home to the LGBT+ community.

The DeafBlind/DeafDisabled community is quite diverse with folks coming from a variety of backgrounds and etiologies.

The point is, there’s no way to look or be deaf. There’s no such as a ‘Deafdar’. Deaf folks are diverse, as all humans are, and let us not forget that. 🤟🏼
