Deaf Pokemon Trainer

Cassie, 19, ASL. My experience being deaf. I am a hearing aid user and my ask is open to everyone.

[drabbleswithdragons]

you know you have a problem when you read "dead inside" as "deaf inside" and your first thought is "but I'm deaf on the outside"

Currently doing $5 readings 😊 not only do I want to get better at tarot, but it’ll put me in a bit of a better spot financially til I get back in a good spot with work. DM me and we can talk about it 😂

Welcome to my current predicament, which is that I need new molds, and VR won’t cover them. The cheapest I’ve found is $40 each and I still can’t afford it. I hate hearing aids sometimes 😭

[cas-is-deaf]

So you guys remember how my high school dual credit program’s principal was super audist and told me I’d never be successful if I didn’t “learn to lipread and not rely on interpreters?” Well. Ya girl is (tentatively) graduating in May with her bachelors at age 20.

And I’m applying for grad school v soon (side note— how’s the Deaf community around San Marcos, TX?)

Hearing people writing deaf characters be like:

Hi my name is Kathleen Jaylin Deafie Raven Way and I was born deaf (that’s how I got my name) and I have beautiful long hair and people usually tell me it’s such a tragedy I was born deaf! All that beauty mared by the grey world of deafness. My sign name (which I gave to myself obviously) is BEAUTIFUL SAD FLOWER in ASL. All of my family, friends and my dog and that guy on the corner who hates me know ASL, but I prefer speaking English (I speak ENglish perfectly of course) because ASL are just signed English words anyway!

I lip-read at school, so I refused when they offered me an interpreter. I can lip-read so well that I understand what my rival says at the table on the other end of the school cantina… I know you are badmouthing me, you nasty girl! Just because I am hearing impaired doesn’t mean I am stupid!!! I may not be able to tell apart yawning and screaming, but that doesn’t mean anything!

When I sleep, I wear hearing aids, naturally, don’t you just hate it when your ears are exposed? Also my friends frequently take my HAs off and I don’t mind at all!

Also, recently I met this incredibly cute guy… He is so amazing! He is a pop signer and he is RICH! He didnt know ASL when he met me, but I taught him and after 3 days he already speaks fluently. He is so amazing! But it’s so hard being together because I am deaf and I can’t hear his music!  It’s tearing me apart, like I am missing someting in my life, I can’t live like this, without music!

But, oh, he saved me! Since he is rich, he arranged a cochlear implant for me and I went to surgery (he held my hand whole time) and when I woke up from anesthesia, I could hear perfectly. I was cured, I am not deaf anymore! The moment I first heard his music was the moment I knew we would be together forever!

We got our happy ending. I just hope this will be inspiration to other poor disabled people out there, never give up!

I’m crying why is this so accurate to what people think it’s like 😂😭

[fishyasl]

This just in: I still can’t hear you!

Deaf Problems

When you’re on a date in a loud place and you hope you will be able to hear them and not be awkward.

[prettynshai]

I’ve always wondered how it would be for a hard of hearing woman like me to go on a date with somebody… 🤔

[cas-is-deaf]

If your date is like... conscientious of your needs... you’ll be fine. If they aren’t then you might struggle. Like if they insist on going somewhere loud where it would be hard to understand them, or an activity that wouldn’t be conducive to whatever mode of communication you use, it might not be that great

[slecnaztemnot]

There is a special kind of hell for people who complain about closed captions and other accomodation for disabled people.

[pensees-ecrites]

YOU KNOW WHATS REALLY FUCKING ANNOYING?!?!

“S/he graduated college AND s/he’s DEAF!!!” “S/he can dance AND s/he’s DEAF!!!” “S/he can drive AND s/he’s DEAF!!!” “That’s amazing!!! Wow!!!”

*insert something boring and add* AND s/he’s DEAF!!

AS IF WE CAN’T DO SHIT NO FUCK YOU

[cas-is-deaf]

I got accepted for the internship of my dreams. I don’t know really how it’s gonna work out, if my hearing aids will help me hear enough to function well in the environment. But I’m so excited to be able to say I got into an internship in my field at 19 and, for once, nothing got in my way. Not my Deafness, not anything.
