🖐 WHAT I ACTUALLY SAID:
“I think I’m just going to learn sign language because it’s too much talking for me and people are hostile and won’t listen or provide adjustments unless I refuse to speak altogether.”
“Everyone refuses to provide me adjustments when I begin to need them, which is when they decide they want to argue.”
“It makes me very sick to have to continuously talk to extra people.”
“I don’t even talk to my own friends verbally because it hurts.”
“It’s only hostile people who are uncooperative.”
“Everyone else is happy to help.”
💬 TRANSLATION FOR THE ADJUSTMENT-AVOIDANT:
I already know American Sign Language.
You could’ve arranged for British Sign Language support.
You didn’t.
You wanted a debate—not a dialogue.
You demanded speech—so you could pretend confusion.
This wasn’t a failure of funding.
It was a failure of basic dignity.
📎 ACCESS STATEMENT (NEVER HONOURED):
“I suffer from a disability which makes speaking verbally difficult. I prefer to communicate telepathically to minimise respiratory strain; however, email is fine.”
So you staged every encounter like a courtroom cross-examination—
then pretended the access note didn’t exist.
🔁 CLOSING CLARITY:
“It hurts too much to talk to waste time arguing with hostile people.”
So I won’t.
Not in your preferred medium.
Not under duress.
Not while bleeding oxygen for your ego.
