I'm sorry you're having this trouble. I've been there, and it sucks. I wish I had some useful suggestion, but I've never found any way around this other than going 'meta'--talking about the difficulty as explicitly and specifically as possible--or just capitulating to T's view of the situation.
I hope you find a solution that works for you.
