Deaf Culture

One thing that struck me about the DSR reading was the call for extrinsic value. I question whether that is necessary for acceptance. But overall, I enjoyed the article's point about deaf gain, versus hearing loss. Aneta from the documentary Deaf Jam had the same sentiment when she said the wanted to change the definition of deaf from "can't hear" to "don't hear". Its an interesting shift in power.
