I just learned from one of my co-workers, that make me feel pisses.  I was email to her and supervisor about deaf and what they should be do for their ears.  Somehow, he think that all co-workers have to help with deaf  like disabled person.   I was explain that we, deaf need ears to lead to because we are deaf.  We use our eyes for our ears.  So my co-worker was questioned and never ask me til now that deaf is disabled as the supervisor speak.  I was so pissed off and almost could blew out at her for that word “disabled”.  I was puzzled after they helped me with applications processing and not recall that I am good enough aware about it.  Today, they heard me winning the applications and gave me thumbs up or clapping for me like I am handicapped or disabled person.  Sheesh!  I had explained that to her and pretty sure she will voice for me.   We, deaf are not handicapped or disabled because we are walking, running, driving, and physically movements.    If we are disabled that mean we can’t have any physically movements.    If we are handicapped then it will be more like sit in wheelchair.
