Shaylee Mansfield Instagram – 🚫 Hot Take Alert: Don’t say “I know sign language!” to Deaf people on the spot. 🙅‍♀️ Imagine you’re enjoying a meal, catching up with friends, or shopping. Suddenly, someone approaches and starts spelling out the entire alphabet or flaunting a few signs. Instead, engage in genuine conversation! Ask about their interests, share your own, and connect on a personal level. It’s about showing that you’re genuinely interested in getting to know the person beyond their signing/hearing abilities.
