UPDATED TASK - TASK 009: d/Deaf/HoH
Hi everyone! So something we’re starting this year is dedicating some weeks to going back and updating old tasks lists, with adding new fcs, removing deceased and problematic fcs, etc..
The first of these is our d/Deaf/HoH task! This task has now been updated to include a link to a Google Doc with a masterlist of over 310+ d/Deaf/HoH fcs!
You can find the task (that includes the link to the new masterlist) here.
Please note: When deciphering how people identified, with regards to if they call themselves Deaf with a capital D, deaf with a lowercase d, Hard of Hearing (and the specifics of that), etc., we tried our best to look through social media, interviews, biographies on sites like IMDb, etc.. When that wasn’t possible, we looked for how articles and other such things written about them referred to them. It is possible we have made mistakes, though, and if you notice someone on the list who we have the wrong way that they identify, please just send us a message letting us know (and letting us know the identity they prefer).
