“I’m Not Explaining Myself Verbally Ever Again”
Filed Under: Respiratory Sovereignty · Verbal Violence · Police Reports as Policy · NHS Misconduct · SWANK London Ltd
💬 Declared from the Lungs, Not the Lips
Dear Kirsty (and the institutional entourage):
“I will not explain things to anyone verbally anymore.”
That is not defiance. It is clinical instruction.
Because what you call a “conversation,” my airway registers as collapse.
📵 Verbal ≠ Safe
“I always get interrupted or the person doesn’t listen.”
That isn’t dialogue. It’s dismissal.
Verbal communication — when weaponised — becomes an arena for:
Ableist performance demands
Discrediting the disabled
Re-traumatisation in real-time
You demand I perform breathlessness for your legitimacy — then penalise me for gasping.
🏥 “It’s weird to bully me when I say my daughter can’t breathe.”
It’s not weird.
It’s structural.
It’s the NHS.
Because I documented her asthma —
And you documented me.
🚔 “From now on, I make police reports every time.”
Every refusal of care.
Every safeguarding ambush.
Every verbal stunt in fluorescent drag — logged, filed, numbered.
Because what you escalate, I indict.
You make me sick, then punish me for reacting to the sickness you inflicted.
That’s not care. That’s gaslit harm with a badge of office.
🫁 “My asthma is worse now — because of that ignorant doctor.”
And therefore:
I will not argue.
I will not explain.
I will record. I will timestamp. I will cite.
Every stolen breath becomes evidence.
