The Respect Me Sign Language shirt is representation of the deaf and hearing impaired community. When communicating with some one who uses sign language to express themselves look at them without feeling sorry for them and listen with your heart and understand them with gestures and attentiveness. If they have a translator, while conversing with someone who is using sign language to communicate look at them while the translator is speaking to you. When speaking to the person who is signing and the translator is signing to them what you are saying, look at the person who is deaf or hearing impaired while speaking. Some can read lips and all simply feel validated, respected and inclusive with eye contact while you speak.
