🌬️ My Lungs Are Not Your Curiosity: A Letter on Asthma, Boundaries, and Bureaucratic Ignorance
⟡ A Clinical Declaration from a High-Risk Mother to a Low-Risk Department
IN THE MATTER OF: Eosinophilic Asthma, Medical Sovereignty, and the Endless Resistance to Basic Public Health Knowledge
⟡ METADATA
Filed: 30 June 2020
Reference Code: SWANK-TCI-ASTHMA-DISABILITY-BOUNDARIES
Court File Name: 2020-06-30_Court_Letter_TCI_SocialDev_AsthmaDisability_ProtectionRequest
Summary: A formal, scientifically grounded request for the Department of Social Development to stop mishandling and misinterpreting the chronic illness and disability-related needs of a mother living with severe eosinophilic asthma. It is also, frankly, a beatdown.
I. What Happened
Polly Chromatic submitted this document after years of intrusive, incoherent, and unscientific scrutiny of her boundaries and parenting — all triggered by her attempts to protect herself and her children from asthma-inducing triggers like smoke, mold, chemical disinfectants, and social workers. The letter is a careful, clear, and polite plea to be left alone to survive — accompanied by expert citations from the CDC, NHS, and Royal Brompton Hospital.
II. What the Complaint Establishes
That the author lives with clinically extreme eosinophilic asthma, placing her in a high-risk category during the COVID-19 pandemic
That her efforts to shield, minimise exposure, and avoid unnecessary stress are medically indicated — not eccentric
That her neighbors’ refusal to adjust their behavior (smoking, confrontation) caused preventable distress
That Social Development’s refusal to take false allegations seriously creates harm, wastes resources, and constitutes procedural neglect
That asthma triggers are not limited to physical substances — they include stress, contradiction, and forced interaction with people who don’t understand medical conditions
III. Why SWANK Logged It
Because asking to breathe safely is not a safeguarding violation, and citing NHS shielding guidance is not an act of rebellion. Because a woman managing a serious respiratory condition should not have to simultaneously manage the emotional labor of defending her own credibility. And because if you think asthma is “just a cough,” you don’t deserve a clipboard, let alone a safeguarding mandate.
IV. Violations
Failure to act on false allegations
Disregard for shielding guidance during pandemic conditions
Misunderstanding of asthma as a chronic disability
Mischaracterisation of medically necessary boundaries as parenting deficiencies
Repeated triggering of physical and emotional distress through state interference
V. SWANK’s Position
We file this as a formal complaint against institutional respiratory illiteracy. We affirm:
That asthma management is not a parenting flaw, it’s a survival strategy
That medically indicated boundaries are not “uncooperative”, they are life-saving
That a mother with daily asthma attacks does not need more stress, she needs fewer interrogations
And that bureaucrats with no medical background should stop weaponising community discomfort as an excuse to investigate disabled parents
