Why should we caption signed stuff, learn sign yourself... Unfortunately whilst partly valid, sign does not travel well even with other deaf so some back up is vital or the deaf will just talk to themselves, the universal access form does seem to be text and not sign language, especially online, where a world deaf audience is there. ASL is then as mandarin, unintelligible to those outside America. I think this 'deaf space' is just then anopther word for isolation or closed shop. Most deaf can read that's the rub, so proving deprivation/discrimination is not going to be easy. I could insist as preference on BSL or SE only it would get me nowhere here at deaf.read. the ASL person will just by pass the vid and go to an ASL one...mervynjames224https://www.blogger.com/profile/06689615164654187617noreply@blogger.com
