TBF, it's SOME deaf people who are like that. A friend of mine lost his hearing due to an infection when he was a young kid. He got one of those cochlear implants as soon as he was able, and has never had one second of regret. Batshit insane "community."

Similar arguments are made about people with Downs. That is, selective abortion is genociding Downs people. Today in Europe almost all Downs pregnancies are aborted. In the US it's like 2/3 of all Downs pregnancies aborted.
