Context:

TransHoH Flag (from transx-mogai-cafe):

“TransHoH: a transabled identity whereby one desires to be or identifies as being Hard of Hearing (HoH).”

From transid.org, “Transdeaf, also coined as deaftric and deafbound, is a term for those who feel as though they should be deaf in one or both ears.

The term was originally coined by arah-ji-ji on November 11th, 2021. They posted an alternate flag on their next blog, harara-ji-chan, two days later on November 13th, 2021. Alternate, pastel versions of the flags were created by bearcub on July 17th, 2022…Two more flags were created by megumi on December 12th, 2023.”

Deaftric Flag (from transabled-pou):

“Deafbound (or transdeaf) is a transabled identity referening to the desire to become deaf from one or both ears, or to a physically non-deaf individual who feel deaf or feel they should be deaf without necessarily transitioning to become physically deaf.”

TransDeaf Flag (from araragibar):

“Transdeaf is a transabled identity in which one feels the need to become deaf from one or both ears.”
