Thomas Hopkins Gallaudet, one of the many people who made it possible for deaf Americans to learn, as co-founder of the American School for the Deaf. Thomas was born in 1787 and was the eldest of the Gallaudet children. He went on to study at Yale, and then became a minister.

Brown expressed that society was stuck “consult[ing] the book in its original archaic form as the only oracular means [it] know[s] for carrying the word mystically to the eye,” therefore, refusing literature to expand beyond print (28). However, as technology developed, he believed that literature should also, and it would be possible through his machine. Brown envisioned a machine that the reader could carry around like Fiske’s. The book would be condensed into a roll “no bigger than a typewriter ribbon” and would be read through a magnifying glass (Brown 28). After inserting the roll into the machine, the reader would set the speed regulator, and the text would appear before the eyes’ in a single, rapidly-moving line (Brown 28).
Thomas Hopkins Gallaudet was really big in Starting Gallaudet University it all started when he was playing and his brother and his sister were not playing with another child Thomas went up and tried to talk to the girl Alice but he didn’t know how to communicate with her so he grabbed his hat off of his head and wrote H-A-T in the dirt and she understood and he was inspired to teach other children.

In the article “The Five Sexes: Why Male and Female Are Not Enough” by Anne Fausto-Sterling explores the idea that there exists 3 more other sexes and not just male and female. Fausto-Sterling affirms that Western culture will only accept two sexes, male or female, regardless or not one identifies as a male or female. Even though, people have come to accept the idea of intersexuality, it continues to go against the idea of only two sexes. Fausto-Sterling continues on to describe the other three sexes other than male and female. The other three sexes are true hermaphrodite, merms, and ferms.
