“Though the Witch knew the Deep Magic, there is a magic deeper still which she did not know. Her knowledge goes back only to the dawn of time. But if she could have looked a little further back… she would have known that when a willing victim who had committed no treachery was killed in a traitor’s stead, the Table would crack and Death itself would start working backward.” - Aslan, C.S. Lewis, The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe

WE JUST WANT TO BREATHE—NOT BE BLAMED FOR EXISTING.

❌ THREE RECURRING INSTITUTIONAL FAILURES:

  1. Defensive hospital staff who treat symptoms as accusations.

  2. Protocol defiance and diagnostic laziness, dressed in lanyards.

  3. Gaslighting as standard—“We don’t believe you” as a care plan.

Dr Arjumand repeated—several times—“I don’t believe you,”
while I was visibly, audibly, physiologically struggling to breathe.
My children watched. No one intervened. Again.

🫁 THE LONGEST SYMPTOM: DISBELIEF

“My whole life, I’ve had to explain my inability to breathe—and still not be believed.”
“From classrooms to clinics, I’ve been called dramatic, then blamed for being right.”
“Now my children are punished for their lungs, and I’m vilified for defending them.”

There is no gas stronger than medical contempt.
And no inhaler for institutional ego.

👁 HUMANITY REQUIRES MIRRORING—NOT SURVEILLANCE

“Blind people have blind friends. Deaf people have deaf friends.
Even racial communities seek mutual comfort.”
“We want friends who breathe like us. Who understand what it means to survive the air.”
“I breastfed all four of my children to prevent this illness. They got it anyway.
And they are still the only ones who understand me.”

This isn’t martyrdom. It’s physiology.
And you’re not listening. You’re watching with a clipboard.

💡 OUR REQUESTS (WRITTEN, AS ALWAYS):

  • Respect the written access adjustment.

  • Treat us without interrogation.

  • Stop requiring verbal performance to access care.

  • Believe the data, not your mood.

  • Stop punishing asthmatic existence.

📎 ACCESS STATEMENT: STILL VALID. STILL IGNORED.

“I suffer from a disability which makes speaking verbally difficult.
I prefer to communicate telepathically to minimise respiratory strain; however, email is fine.”

This is not ambiguity.
This is refusal to perform your preferred pantomime of health.

When Breathing Is Treated Like a Social Offence.


🖋 SWANK Dispatch | 23 November 2024
WE MOVED FOR FRIENDSHIP. YOU GAVE US ASTHMA SHAME.

Filed From: Flat 22, 2 Periwinkle Gardens, London W2
Author: Polly Chromatic
Filed Under: Asthma Discrimination · Social Misreading · Community Hostility · Verbal Disability · British Allergy to Vulnerability · Snobbish Expat Testimony · SWANK Statement on Medical Intolerance

📨 WHAT I WROTE (AND YOU MISREAD):

“We felt isolated in Turks and Caicos and came here because we love the people and socialising…”
“However people here don’t like that we have asthma.”
“It’s like you are all angry at us for having asthma. Period. That’s how we feel.”
(But we feel better now that you are all helping.)

The irony, of course, is that you were never helping.
You were reacting—to our breath, our boldness, our refusal to perform wellness for your comfort.

💨 A BREATHING OFFENCE IN A NATION OF SIDE-EYES

I arrived under the illusion that the UK was a place of civility and inclusion.
Instead, I found a kingdom where asthma is treated like insolence—
and breathlessness is met with bureaucratic punishment.

You whisper behind clipboards.
You raise eyebrows at oxygen monitors.
You blame the disabled for disrupting your illusion of order.

🧠 STILL TELEPATHIC. STILL DISMISSED.

“I suffer from a disability which makes speaking verbally difficult.
I prefer to communicate telepathically to minimise respiratory strain; however, email is fine.”

And still—
I must explain my lungs.
Justify my sentences.
Rationalise my silence.
To those who claim to support.

📎 CONCLUSION:

We moved for friendship.
We got forms.
We came for inclusion.
We got inspection.
We sought community.
We found clinical disdain.

The United Kingdom of Respiratory Resentment.


🖋 SWANK Dispatch | 23 November 2024
WE MOVED HERE TO SOCIALISE. YOU MADE US SICK.

💬 FROM THE RECORD (AND STILL NOT READ):

“We felt isolated in Turks and Caicos and came here because we love the people and socialising…”
“…however people here don’t like that we have asthma.”
“It’s like you are all angry at us for having asthma. Period. That’s how we feel.”
(But we feel better now that you are all helping.)

How British.
The nation that prides itself on queues, etiquette, and empathy—
couldn’t stomach a child with a nebuliser.

🇬🇧 A VERY BRITISH IRONY:

We left the tropics for community.
Instead, we found shame with side-eye.
Here, you’re punished not for speaking too loudly—
but for breathing too audibly.

Asthma became our accent.
And you made it foreign.

🧠 ACCESS STATEMENT (REPEATED IN EVERY EMAIL, IGNORED IN EVERY ROOM):

“I suffer from a disability which makes speaking verbally difficult.
I prefer to communicate telepathically to minimise respiratory strain; however, email is fine.”

But in Westminster’s elite social script:

– Inhalers are uncouth
– Telepathy is impolite
– Email is invisible
– And asthma is a personal offence

We asked for community.
You offered performance notes.

If You Refuse to Treat Us, At Least Do It Quietly.

I CAN’T ARGUE. I’M BREATHING. PICK ONE.

💬 THE LINES THEY STILL PRETEND NOT TO HEAR:

“No one will tell me what the ‘erratic’ behaviour was, given that I’ve only said I want treatment and can’t argue due to respiratory strain.”
“When a woman in the waiting area was abusing me, they blamed me.”
“All the hospitals share the same hatred and ignorance of asthma.”
“They refuse to treat my kids more than they refuse to treat me.”
“I’m going to sue them. It’s child neglect.”

🧠 VERBAL AUSTERITY STATEMENT:

I do not argue.
I breathe.

If you want to help—help.
If you don’t—move.
I will not waste oxygen proving my suffering to those who monetise disbelief.

🧬 ACCESS STATEMENT (STAMPED, SENT, IGNORED):

“I suffer from a disability which makes speaking verbally difficult. I prefer to communicate telepathically to minimise respiratory strain; however, email is fine.”

Every refusal is now a receipt.
Every conversation denied is a case number pending.

📎 PRE-SUIT REMINDER:

You refused access.
You denied medical care.
You blamed me for needing it.

And now you’re logged.
Publicly. Permanently. Procedurally.

You Don’t Have to Believe Me. You Just Have to Treat Me.


🖋 SWANK Dispatch | 24 November 2024
I’M NOT AVOIDING THERAPY. YOU’RE AVOIDING ACCESS.
Also titled: “When Silence Is the Only Accommodation You Won’t Offer.”

🩺 THE STATEMENT THEY RECEIVED—AND STILL REFUSED TO UNDERSTAND:

“I’d love to go to therapy but no one will provide adjustments for my disability needs...”
“It is not our problem. It is your community’s problem.”
“You keep expecting us to behave like people who don’t have a disability—and we can’t.”
“Someone needs to call the mental health practice and explain that I can’t explain everything verbally.”

You didn’t misunderstand.
You simply didn’t care to translate accommodation into action.

🧠 FOR THOSE ALLERGIC TO DIGNITY, HERE’S A TRANSLATION:

I asked for therapy.
You offered a trapdoor lined with expectations.

I required written communication.
You insisted on performance.

I named the exclusion.
You punished the diagnosis.

This is not “non-engagement.”
It’s exclusion, dressed up in procedural couture.

📎 ACCESS STATEMENT (IGNORED, AS EVER):

“I suffer from a disability which makes speaking verbally difficult. I prefer to communicate telepathically to minimise respiratory strain; however, email is fine.”

Your refusal is now formal.
Your evasion is now archived.
