    There is a surprising amount of hate in the deaf community for different circumstances. People born deaf and refuse cochlear implants hate on those who get it. There is hate on those who are partially deaf and use hearing aides. There is hate on those not born deaf but develop it later. It’s a very weird, almost caste like group. You’d think there would be more sympathy across the board.

      I have read that people who learn ASL as their native language have a hard time writing English. Maybe this is a artifact of that?
