Hey hey ๐ For the new year, we thought to bring back some these educational kind of post for 2022!
We thought to share some thoughts on phrases that should end! People should stop saying:
1. "Never mind"
This can make someone feel embarrassed for not being able to capture what you said the first time. Always repeat yourself.
2.โYou donโt look deafโ
Most backhanded compliment ever. Itโs actually very offensive thing to say. Being deaf doesnโt have a specific look. It is an invisible disability
3.โBut... you can speak?โ
In the deaf and hard of hearing community, there is a wide spectrum of people who choose to communicate in speech, sign language, or both. We are all very different and unique in our own way. Please donโt question our identity.
Is there anything else that you think people should stop saying?
