Also the church tried its best to alienate deaf children and destroyed any kind of sign language they came across. Because “they can’t hear gods words”.*
Your made up god sucks. And so do you.
*) I mixed things up. It’s about “confessing aloud”
Thw legacy remains. I'm hard of hearing and my parents were told not to teach me sign as a kid because I would only sign and lose my English. Like first of all, spoken English is so common it wasnt going to happen. Secondly, seriously that's a terrible reason to deny a language.
Then as my country has been crumbling my entire adult life I've been more focused on foreign spoken languages than sign because I'm pretty sure Germany won't take "sure i can't speak or read German, but i can sign the fuck out of it"
Apparently there is an International Sign language. That may or may not be useful depending on where you are, also American Sign language is used in several countries other than the US. Though nowhere in Europe it seems looking at the map

I haven't heard of this but also wouldn't be surprised if a church did this. Is there any source on this one?
I read it in a book series about learning the German sign language. This one if it’s any help. ~~But I can’t find any sources online accept~~ Fuck that I found it:

The entire article is infuriating.
And if anyone wants to know why the deaf are kinda dicks about it, this and it's legacy is why
Human beings are pathetic.
Those choirboyfuckers. They don't hear god either, they read about him. With their eyes.
