    Cultural erasure of what? Deafness isn’t a culture. Sign language will exist even if every “deaf person” stops being “deaf” because silent communication is super important.

    Infants are taught basic sign language before their vocal linguistic skills develop so they can still communicate.

    No sane person has ever resisted such research.

    P.S: I put “deaf” in quotes because I’d love to see these folks with such extreme view accurately define “deafness” without resorting to circular arguments and terminologies.
