Hi, my name is Lindra. I'm an oral deaf girl living in Australia, currently learning AUSLAN on and off.
I have a lot to say about my deafness and nowhere else to put it, so this is where it all goes. Be prepared for a lot of navel-gazing!
My feelings about my deafness and how I cope with it vary from day to day. Often I can be quite bitter against the hearing because of my oral background, and any attacks I make are most definitely not personal against you, the reader, whomever you happen to be. The essays here are often as much for my own benefit as they are for yours, and that in additional to it being a very personal topic for me means that any affront you feel at one stage or another should be taken with a grain of salt.I update this index page as often as it occurs to me to, which is to say once in a blue moon, so you probably don't have to check back all that often.
Feel free to email me if you have questions or responses: lindra at gmail dot com
