I realize that you probably think you are being empathetic, but it comes across as dismissive. Rather than considering the very legitimate reasons why such things can and should be discussed irrespective of the neurologies of the people involved, you are happy to classify it as difficulty with socialization.]]> EKSwitaj 2009-11-20T18:41:01Z 2009-11-20T18:41:01Z tag:www.thefword.org.uk,2009:/blog//2.43207 Nicola 2009-11-20T16:56:12Z 2009-11-20T16:56:12Z tag:www.thefword.org.uk,2009:/blog//2.43204 irina 2009-11-20T16:07:04Z 2009-11-20T16:07:04Z tag:www.thefword.org.uk,2009:/blog//2.43192 BareNakedLady 2009-11-20T15:26:38Z 2009-11-20T15:26:38Z tag:www.thefword.org.uk,2009:/blog//2.43189 gadgetgal 2009-11-20T14:57:22Z 2009-11-20T14:57:22Z tag:www.thefword.org.uk,2009:/blog//2.43186 Kate 2009-11-20T14:44:43Z 2009-11-20T14:44:43Z tag:www.thefword.org.uk,2009:/blog//2.43185 earwicga 2009-11-20T14:25:51Z 2009-11-20T14:25:51Z tag:www.thefword.org.uk,2009:/blog//2.43183 Hannah 2009-11-20T13:57:10Z 2009-11-20T13:57:10Z tag:www.thefword.org.uk,2009:/blog//2.43182 Holly Combe 2009-11-20T13:18:07Z 2009-11-20T13:18:07Z tag:www.thefword.org.uk,2009:/blog//2.43181 tkarin 2009-11-20T12:47:14Z 2009-11-20T12:47:14Z tag:www.thefword.org.uk,2009:/blog//2.43179 Jooty 2009-11-20T09:08:41Z 2009-11-20T09:08:41Z tag:www.thefword.org.uk,2009:/blog//2.43174 gadgetgal 2009-11-20T08:59:28Z 2009-11-20T08:59:28Z tag:www.thefword.org.uk,2009:/blog//2.43173 sianmarie said: thanks for such a moving post. and, in general, thanks to Helen G and the F word for posting regularly on trans issues, it has really helped me investigate, learn more and understand my cis-privilege, something that i (shamefacedly) hadn't really considered before. thoughts are with you on this day. ]]> sianmarie 2009-11-19T23:45:58Z 2009-11-19T23:45:58Z tag:www.thefword.org.uk,2009:/blog//2.43162 saranga said: i think any bsl addition, even a late one, would be good. if you need to find someone try contacting your local deaf centre, or local deaf association, or signature.org.uk who have info on how to find an interpreter on their site, or any local colleges/unis around you that offer bsl level 4 courses.]]> saranga 2009-11-19T22:19:18Z 2009-11-19T22:19:18Z tag:www.thefword.org.uk,2009:/blog//2.43159 polly 2009-11-19T22:08:42Z 2009-11-19T22:08:42Z tag:www.thefword.org.uk,2009:/blog//2.43158 earwicga 2009-11-19T20:40:06Z 2009-11-19T20:40:06Z tag:www.thefword.org.uk,2009:/blog//2.43151 Victoria 2009-11-19T20:15:09Z 2009-11-19T20:15:09Z tag:www.thefword.org.uk,2009:/blog//2.43150 Feminist Avatar said: 'Feminist menstruation' or something of that nature is consistently one of the top google searches that brings people to my blog.

For people for whom BSL is their first language, subtitles aren't neccessarily much use.
