So here's something else that occurred to me:
But I do regret that the fluency is something I don't really take pleasure in, because it isn't my fluency, it's default from being in a very privileged position for a deaf child and being forced to learn to speak and write English as clearly and as much as possible from an early age. I mean, this was forced on me.
That choice was denied me. And in my personal view, that denial of choice is a greater wrong than whether or not we lack 'novels' when it is the case that most of our stories are collaborative.
See, in a way, it's *establishing* that choice that is what I was thinking about. I mean, literacy is something people are going to push for, in general... why does English have to be the primary choice, when the more natural language is sign? kind of thing. |
