Tumblr

You know, I'm pretty sure nobody is surprised that I have a Tumblr.

Just saw an ask on a Tumblr I follow seriously asking why deaf people should be employed in roles that aren't specifically 'designed' to be about deaf people or focused toward deaf people.

I know I'm an angry person. I know you don't care why, because it's hard to care why when you're on the receiving end and you know in your heart of hearts that you're a good person and how dare I be mean.

It's not even that I hate anyone here. I really don't, it's hard to hate people who keep talking to you even when you're yelling at them.

But when almost every part of who I am is told every day that this world was not made and should never be made for who I am. How can I help but feel like I should burn it all down and make them start again?

Either I'm angry and an activist for my own self, or I'm silent and a slave to a world that will never give me even an inch without asking me why I even matter.

I can't just sit here and not demand better treatment, I don't know how anybody can.
