This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.

Be warned:

If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.

If someone is deaf from birth and gains hearing from implants later in life, you whisper in their ear and they can't see your lips they won't understand because they have never heard the audio before. Is this correct?

How could you possibly know what a visual representation of a sound sounds like if you've never had the relationship between the two pointed out to you??

[–] captainlezbian@lemmy.world 10 points 14 hours ago

Yes, but it’s not just deaf from birth people. Your brain has to wire itself to understanding the signals from the implant

Yeah. Unless she is only partially deaf or had hearing before and lost it, she won’t understand him.

In the beggining he said after a while she noticed or something like that so it means she had partial hearing loss.

I figured that she noticed him visually, a shadow was cast or she saw movement. Anon also said that she heard her mom "for the first time" when she got the implant.

Taking all this into account, while the greentext seems to have avoided the first label of homosexuality, the verity of the story nevertheless has to be put into question.

"a shadow was cast"

Ominous 😄

"I move closer to he"

Anon may be gay too
