UPDATE:

I have received private apologies from several of AMP mods. While these are nice and I do appreciate them, it is a far cry from the public apology I feel is necessary.

3 days later, there is still no transcript posted on the original post, despite the fact Special Snowflake Hall of Fame posted one, which you can find here. I’ve posted photo evidence that there is still no change at the time of this post on my blog.

A friend of Redd’s asked her why she refused to admit her mistake. She still maintains it was because I was using it as a means to harass her. She claims that my demands for a transcript were racist and ableist, and also mentioned that I called her a “sp*c,”* which absolutely did not happen. She is also insistent that I am not really Deaf, and am posing a Deaf person to harass her. I should also mention that I asked to speak to her directly with a third party present and she refused.

This is not an issue of race. This was an issue of asking for accommodations and having someone use them as a way to manipulate me. This is hostile, abusive and ableist behavior, and is apparently the kind of behavior AMP supports.

I do not support this behavior.

Thank you to everyone who has supported me. As always, my inbox is open.
