[stylist] descriminative against voices.

[helene ryles]

I'm just curious here. What do blind people make of 'deaf' voice. I
mean the way some deaf people speak when they are born with a
severe/profound hearing loss and have to spend a lot of time being
taught how to speak? I'm told I have a really good voice but I wasn't
born profoundly deaf and it can't be that good because sometimes when
I speak I find it hard to get people to know what I am talking about.

Helene.
