Did you know that
“hearing impairment”
is not appropriate terminology?
It is offensive terminology to label us.
Use either or both:
“Deaf” and “Hard of Hearing”
Please RT to share of our feelings. Thanks

@Telegraph
Using 'woke' as a pejorative is a huge red flag; if you are so threatened by people caring about racism, misogyny and social injustice, reflect on why that is. And Shax's value for exploring social injustice is a big part of why the plays are still onstage

This is so disgusting. This why we need to hear more stories like William and Kate. How BSL is so important to our community.
William and his partner Kate went through the adoption process. Social services were 'concerned' about their ability to raise a child, because they mainly communicate in BSL. This is wrong.
Watch William's story today
