I have a minor history in "deaf spaces"

some of those people are fucking insane, it was like an early version of the trans movement, glorifying something objectively bad that no one should want, treating it like a special secret club, like a misery loves company thing

literally angry and bitter at hearing people, treating every difficulty in communication like something being done intentionally in order to keep them down or something

There are leftwing deaf "activists" against cochlear implants because they're crazy and think it's deaf erasure/genocide. 

yep, parents who want kids who are exactly like them (exactly as deaf as them) because if they can hear that broadens their experience to a wider culture the parents don't get to participate in, leaving a gulf between them, the kid "going where the parents can't follow" from their perspective, and seeing that as a bad thing rather than wanting your child to have a better life than you had the opportunity for
