Tea & Theatre: (Deaf relevant) Why I will never be flying United or flying into/out of Louisville ever again.
Airlines everywehere should dry up and fizzle away. This one first. Down with United!
(TW for audism out the ass)
As we were leaving the NAD convention in Louisville, Kentucky, I had on the following shirt I got at the convention:
It was a very public week-long event downtown, make no bones about it. As such, the shirt very clearly identified me as deaf.
Unfortunately this is not a rare story.
I’ve seen this sort of idiocy first-hand, and every time yet another asshole somehow equates my brother being hearing impaired with my brother (or any other deaf person) being mentally retarded, I want to punch a hole in the wall. It’s not handicap-porn, it’s me being a defensive big sister.
This guy has asked for less attention because of the weird masturbatory way people on the internet take up causes, and I can see his point. But if you’ve never actually known a deaf person, you should read this, as this is just a fraction of the stupidity they have to deal with their whole lives.
