Fighting for ROE vs WADE

I am not here to argue about it. I am here to see and tell show of ROE vs WADE in my lifetime. It been on case for long time like started in 1971 but said it ends in 1973? Well, it been fight for many years by women’s right on an abortion and Life.

In my time, 80s. Back in Texas. Yes, Texas is famous state within different subjects. I resided there for 20 years, not have to blame me for that. When I took that history in class and lost in it because I never understand it. All I know, it is OLD case and kept bring it up. Many women have an abortion and fighting for strike. Yes, I saw them on television on news. Posters somewhere on the walls, flyers passed, cards from people. Everywhere. I still not understand it at that time, and it really disgusted me.

When I was about 18 years old. I went to church and heard from one of my childhood friend’s parents become upset about her daughter been raped by date rape. She was forced to keep her baby. Current, her son was minor league player. He does not look like bad guy. I remember when I spend with him when he was kid, his behavior was insults by people.

At 20, I was practiced being adult and went to church. I was listened to one of teachers in Sunday School class. He brings up about an abortion and life issues. My friend I know from school. She jumps and argue about it. I can see the points from her opinions by her voice. I started to understand better about it. They started to be hot TOPIC. I do not want to be involved so out myself neutral for long time.

Many years, I kept picking all of topics by ROE vs WADE because it keeps come back annually. I know about Date Rape is not funny. I took one class that is self-defense alike TAEKWONDO at University. I learned how to defense myself from rapist.

If you are raped by stranger (not date rape) then what are you doing with that? get an abortion or keep? Raise your kid? What kid would learn by wrong or right? What kid grow up look like?

If women had pregnancy problem, then can be miscarriage or forced to abortion. They have check with doctors before starting to process. Sometimes turned wrong then have it abortion or can hurt the mother. Either is preferred? Mothers hate it when that happens, can imagine that.

Vasectomy is sticky issues for male. You know male dogs/cats had vasectomy before becoming 7th month old! They could sex if not have it then owners forced female dogs/cats to abortion. SAME IDEA. Same thing as Mother human.

Remember I am not here to argue. Love you!

Can deaf read?

Why is this? I been read the deaf news and would want to fuss at them because many years, I learned that all deaf does not READ!!!!! It made me feel sad and embarrassment.

English is important to read and learning in US. Why they ignore it? Look at German, France or Italy deaf people. They read all the time and signing in their language. Why can’t US deaf people read? All required signing not CAPTIONED!! They always said English is hard to understand. Come on!!!!

Okay. I read in deaf news stated that we, deaf need make law to pass this to allow television to have all ASL interpreters on all tv shows. Not just government or news. ALL of TV SHOWS and MOVIES. Whoa! Time out! I can understand all NEWS or GOVERNMENT but why TV shows or Movies? I saw the tv commercial and actually STINK!!! Sorry I have to say that. That was so BAD. Not know if you saw that commerical.

ASL Interpreters signing and pretty would distracting so much because we will miss best pictures on the screen. We would focus on the interpreter all the time.

What about kids? Learning disabilities? They required captioned on TV. What about foreign? Same thing. Subtilties is for everyone to read. I LOVE those subtilties on TV. If no captioned, then how we read or learn those words? Nothing. Nothing.

What about those voices? Would ASL interpreter do that for multiple voices?

You know what? I have met few deaf friends in high school, and they were exciting to have real English book in class. They showed me that book. I was so SHOCKED and HEARTBROKEN same time. They do not know much of English in elementary school or middle school. They finally learned in high school because of University now required ENGLISH. Mine already in advance English since school year along with hearing classes.

That is why deaf does not READ or not UNDERSTAND the English! They need ASL for reading. Sad.

Sorry I have to vent that out.

ESL ?

ESL is English Second Language. I know you know that too! LOL! Reason I am telling you about this because just had conference with my dad. He said this and I said that. We see different in our experiences in language courses. Mother took Spanish and Father took French. Me took nothing, maybe English. Why English? I been using the American sign language in deaf community as communication access. Where is language of English? No.

I raised learned in English language then SEE (Signing Exact English) plus TC (Total Communication) then ASL (American Sign Language). English? No. I took advanced classes on Reading, and English during I was kid. Later on, I started to use the ASL and my English become low than except. I do reading and writing a lot. That helps me see what I am doing.

Many times, I took my times to hanging with my friends and learning that they are studying English and Reading in Elementary school level. Mine is into Secondary school level. I wondered why they took that level is because they only learn sign language then English in the common world. They could take Secondary school level in college or university if requested.

Gimme an example:

Spanish into English. Translated.

French into English. Translated.

Sign Language into English. Translated. (no way to translated, visibility only)

All languages had translated. ESL is helping them understand the language as English. I do not know much about foreign language outer there but see the pictures if we are living in France and FSL (French Second Language). Ha!

Have a good evening!

Exposure the community.

I am writing here to expose the community because of many deaf and HOH actors been struggling on filming. You know there is disability actors. What about Hispanic or Asian? Yeah. Black and European too. Let’s go back where I find one well known actress.

Jane Fonda’s 1979 at Oscars “Coming Home” She used the sign language in show. Her quote, Because I found out there were 17 millions deaf people in United States and Academy Awards were not closed captioned. I tried to get them to close captioned and they wouldn’t do it. So I decide to do my thing in Sign Language.

Marlee Martin’s 1987 at Oscars “Children of A Lessor God” She is frist deaf actress won the Oscar. Her quote, I’ve been waiting for another movie with this message similar to ours to come out, and it hasn’t happened, I just am hoping this opens the floodgates.

Tony Kotsur’s 2022 at Oscars “CODA” He is first deaf actor won the Oscar. His quote, This is dedicated to the Deaf community, the CODA community and the disabled community.

Those people given quotes and not enough exposure? Where they are? Where is communication access? What we do with you? Use us for what? Put us in roles. Put us in communication like others. Spanish, French or German. Yes we have language is signing.

I already know about subtitles movies because I love foreign films in ages. It is like deaf movies too! Yeah. It is.

What about you? Any exposure? Let us know.

What if… living in different life?

Okay, I been watch over people’s life and wondering how it would be what if everyone living in different life.

All years, everyone come in and out being normal people but DEAF whole the world! What if you are hearing person happens be in that world? I meant not many hearing people in different areas where you live in. How can you get involved with deaf people? What do you think what would you do when face the DEAF? Would you be frustrated? Many questions in head thinking about.

Spanish has about 41 million in US that speak Spanish.

French has about 10.4 million in US that speak French.

Arab has about 3.5 million in US that speak different languages.

Asian has about 17.3 million in US that speak different languages

Europe has about 113 million in US had speak different languages.

Deaf has about 28.8 million in US that speak ASL (America Sign Language).

Altogether has about 327.16 million in US that speak different languages.

Why not bother to learning any language to make communication access? Being harassment to try to speak language? You learn some language at school class, right?

My parents learned their languages at high school. Dad took French and Mom took Spanish. Me? Not have it in school. I have added few languages from ASIA, ARAB and EUROPE. There was ASL class in high school now.

Later! ~ DW

National Girls and Women in Sports

Let’s say here. I am writing about National Girls and Women in Sports since I read all articles about sports, Olympics and banned.

Banned? Okay, let’s go back to this for little bit. You know about one racer who is intersex, and she runs too fast for all females. She was banned for races because of her DNA and medical reason (Testosterone and hormone suppressing). There are few athletics been doing much winning during the wide world sports and Olympics games in the past before above. No one knows until much later by technology failed. Now technology seems find more and more about Intersex and Transgender participants in sports.

Recently, two women swimming who are Male to Female and winning the races in women’s swim meets. Also, I know one person who is Female to Male tried out for javelin throw and not make it.

I see lot of transgenders tried out and kind of sad because of their bodies are not SAME. Why? Biology male body is POWER than biology female body. Biology female body SHAPE different than biology male body. I know skeleton are SAME but not SHAPE.

You know many women got bad injury on their legs from playing basketball because of their legs are not straight like men’s legs. Men did not get that much injury like them. Women ended up sports earlier than men. Men got lot of injury on tough sports than female does. Do you see any female in tough men sports? Not many.

Male to Female is POWER like biology male. Female to Male is SHAPE like biology female. When you try to run with male, and he would win. Or you try to throw the javelin and his throw farther than you. You can try that for yourself and tell me I am wrong.

I was once female to male for about 7 years and I have noticed myself work SO HARD to be even with male. It was pretty tough years with male testosterone level. As biology female, I am satisfied with myself now. I always being TOMBOY and love to be drag queen. I still have my facial hair when I don’t shave.

Deaf can’t read lip 100% period

Many time, we happen use our common sense like hearing people. Thye got wrong idea of us being deaf can hear. Hehe. Fact, we deaf CAN NOT hear at all. Nothing sounds or noise. SILENCE sounds.

Deaf can read ONE person lip. NOT many people. Deaf can’t read each lip and their eyes would drop. Like hearing people ears would drop if listen people all the time. Deaf had two things are read and listen same time. Hearing had one thing are listening. That is hard for all of us.

Deaf can’t hear and can read lips all the time. Tricky, can’t hear and can’t read lip with people same time. No. We deaf could lost the communication for half hour by the read lips. Their eyes need to rest from reading. Hearing expects us to listen for hours. No.

Deaf can do EVERYTHING but can’t hear. Hearing expects us to listen and work together alike. They have no patience with deaf. Deaf can lost communication and missing what they are saying because of too tired to read lips all the time. Many hours reading is crazy for us. Hearing can listen but us deaf. No. Deaf use their eyes to listen.

Can you silence and read their lip for an hour?

Teenager’s style

I was thinking about all of our experiences. I know you have some different style in your life as teenagers. The way our parents discipline us in whatever they teach us in our growing up. Maybe punish? Not punish? Try get us to follow in their footsteps? Many reasons we had in our teenager years.

I read one of articles. I can see that girl went wild and her parents tried to discipline the right way. They do not want to punish her for being wild or active teenager. If she was punishing by them then she won’t be here. She would be like less focus or could be selfish to rejected. The way I read, she is successful teenager and learning a lot of world views. Her parents were glad that she saw her own eyes after the filming of teenager’s life. She realized herself.

Same thing about a girl growing up into the world without social media in 80s. She got to see her own film and realized about herself been through. She was glad that her kids get good influence by her because she does not want them alike her when teenager year.

I looked back into my teenager years. Pretty tough. Why? I have a hard head mother and soft-hearted father. Mother is my best friend; we always chat and of course argue daily. If I get upset and ran into father to comfortable me. I have no brother or sister to depend on, so they are my family.

When my aunt was teenager and took me to movie with her friends or dating night. Yes, date night! I could remember her took me to the park and her boyfriend was there. I watched them and passion. OMG! I only 6 years old! Therefore, that is when I become 17 like my aunt was. I did not take anyone to the park! LOL! I had boyfriend and we did everything that is not normal. You know how teenagers tend very curious about LOVE and PASSION. There you go. Why “not normal”……too embarrassed to say because we are under the God’s house! Oops!

Tough year? Yeah, mother is hard head and very strict on me. I worked so hard to protect myself being falling into water. When first time as teenager, could follow my young kids which I am much older than them like about couple younger. When they become teenagers then that when I started. One of my close friends asked me to sneak to the movie house. I felt guilty because of my mother. I decided to follow them and sneak into movie. Next hours, mother saw us walk out of movie and fussed at me front of my friends. That was so scary. My mother does not understand why I took that decision.

Then become matured teenager, I knew the right and wrong decision but still act like teenagers because we think we are adult and boss all we wanted. One night, I had my boyfriend to sneak out to the park. My mother drove by and saw us walking to the park as I watched the car that she braked middle of the street and stopped the car. I never forget what my mother did to us front of people at the park. I was so embarrassed and told him I am sorry. He leaves and I was pulled in the car by my own mother. I do not know what to say because she was so pissed off. She does not understand why I took him out to the park. She told me GROUND me a week without car or phone with boyfriend! I was like FUCK! I can see him at school. His mother does not GROUND him but forced him to do the courses. I wish I can do that. My mother is different.

I chatted with few friends who was teenagers with me. Their stories are different. No Punish is good because it disciplines them well without fuss at them or pissed off. If punish can be bad because of their discipline bad or can be abused by vocal, etc. If ground, can be good or bad like his mother made him do the courses and I was told not drive car and can’t use the phone. No ground then you are SPOILED! LOL! Yeah, one I know is spoiled girl. I love her anyway!

I had learned from my aunt’s teen years and my teen years. I had saw my aunt as teenager and I try made myself not like hers but tempt with my friends. I can understand that because of my aunt. I am glad that I had good parents that try to teach me the right ways instead of wrong. Everyone has mistaken in their life so no one perfect. Teenagers are hard but growing up into better opportunities. Learning from parents or family experiences in their years to our next family generations. Some would go away or would stay together. That depends on their experiences in their life.

Correction on my mother is not bad mother. She is good mother and my best friend. She tries to teach me right ways which I ignore during the teen years. Don’t forget she is ARMY BRAT!

Deaf can’t be ignored

Why is this?  Okay, let’s say here. I been watching all people and can’t be ignore them.  I am following and read their lips.  Hey!  I know we can’t read their lip all day!  

Why I say that?  Okay let’s say this because hearing people tend ignore deaf and not attention to them because they think all of deaf are not normal.  Gee.  No.  Deaf is a actually normal like people.  We are just lost our hearing to zero.  Nothing would change us. 

We are human. They just ignore us for that stuipd reasons. We follow and understanding what they saying or what do to do. Hope that makes easier?

Deaf in family for Thanksgiving.

You know all deaf who has hearing family and how they talk to them? No way! Okay. One example. Few relatives knows signs then that is fine but….big but! They would forget to sign after the chatting in different subject and never know what they are talking about.

I know my mom only one who would signs with me because she is lonely like me. She has take of adventure to listen from relatives and tell me everything what they saying. Yes! Cool! When relatives started to talk to my mom and of course she forget to signs to me because of changing subject.

It is hard for every deaf person who has hearing relatives like that. Many of deaf refused visits the family! Yes I know sound bad but true. If they would signs then good. If deaf wanted to bring their friends and chat themselves then good. Whatever relatives thinks good or rude thing to have friends with them. HELLO. They need chatting or make communication with them.

What else should have to put save family? Nothing saved?

Family hate to see someone missed out or left out. Well, they knew it. I told them few times, I won’t come. They begged me and I came. The way is always same annually so no news for me. Touched by their love and chat is out.

What about your Thanksgiving?
