I’m glad that I can relearn sign language again. I am hard of hearing since birth. Then went to school with the deaf and hard of hearing class. Teachers taught me sign language by using their voice as they sign. Even the students taught me to sign too. After high school, I went to work in the real world and slowly forgotten because I didn’t ran into or even saw deaf people. So I hanged around with hearing people and didn’t use my hands to talk to them. So now I want to learn ASL again.
Anyone having trouble keeping up? Turn on your closed captions. There’s a playback option and you can slow the speed down to a quarter ( .25x) of the original speed. Helps a lot to read the interpretation first, and then say/think/write (your choice) his actual signs, word for word. So you can really comprehend the interpretation 😘 you won’t regret it!
I personally just fingerspell 'non binary' or I would sign NOT fs-BINARY, this situation has come up before in conversation and the person who I was talking to understood perfectly.
I have a non-binary peer in my Professions in Deafness program and they firstly inform what they prefer to be called and whatnot by fingerspelling. If someone points to a NB person across the room to describe them, some people will point, say their birth gender (whether it be boy or girl), and then inform the person that they are NB and how they should be addressed.
You learn by watching and understanding. It's called immersion. Besides, ASL doesn't work like other languages, you can't just translate it word for word into English.
Please update first part #1. this as this is exclusive and discriminates against Trans and non-binary individuals. We can't assume gender based on their appearance. We can identify their gender only if they are out about their identity. Also we don't use the term "sex" to describe their gender anymore. Thank youl.

Thank you for doing the signs and he did what you did, but I don’t know how shape of the sign that you and doing in your video
it would be great if you could add the written words as you sign. So that people learning asl know what your saying. thanks
The video is captioned. You can turn on the captions. :)
That is great to know. Thank you!

What about people who use gender non binary pronouns?

chicken
No words on the screen? How am I supposed to learn if I can’t “translate” the signs?
closed captions buddy
You would think someone who is learning ASL would know about captions.
