Maybe they're hanging around those deaf rights activists who just really seem to hate anybody that tries to destroy their culture.
Not every disabled person sees their disability as a culture to be preserved like deaf rights people do.

Checked EF for the first time in ages and the first thing that greeted me was:

"Surviving Capitalism is a webinar that uses intersectional feminist approaches to teach you practical money skills" ...apparently one of those fantastic money skills involves throwing $39 at a shitty feminist webinar.
Anyway, they also have a patreon now (since about July 24th)

Who knew feminism could be so successfully commercialized? (Or perhaps not so successful, judging by how many patrons they have...)

Minor powerleveling but I’m a sister of quite seriously disabled brother and my brother hates these disability identity idiots with passion. He would love nothing more than be rid of his disability and be boring normal person. He hates that he works out daily but has movements of a drunk and while he has muscle to lift furniture he can’t because he doesn’t have the balance. He hates that he can’t really travel because he might need hospital care. He has horrible childhood memories of hospitals, like where he left his room because his mentally disabled roommate wouldn’t stop screaming after life saving surgery because nobody could explain him what was going on and why he was hurting.
As a sibling of disabled person I can’t but think that disabled people who refuse treatment (let alone general look for cure) just because they prefer to stay disabled* are incredibly selfish. Families of disabled have to put so much money, time and attention to handle disablity and you won’t let those resources moved to other important areas because you want to be special? I get that big change like that is scary but good people would work to make themselves stronger and be better for their community.
* Just to make sure, I don’t mean refuse treatment because of serious side affects or odds of complications are too great. All medical treatment come with some danger and that has to be measured against possible gains. Sometimes it’s just not worth it.

The website has completed its descent into E-begging. A few years ago they were supposedly on the verge of financial collapse and were begging readers to “support women and poc labor” and donate.

They fell pretty hard financially once Trump became president. That's when it seemed that the money problem really hit.

I really despite neurodiversity/extreme disability rights activists that encourage people to make up their personality around their disability and actively try to act like seeking cures for illnesses is some next level nazi genocide. Before tumblr i'd never thought something absurd as that could actually be something people would seriously advocate for. That's fucked up.

Just another win for Trump
After all who can afford to give money away while there is an Orange Hitler in the Whitehouse!
Honestly one of Trumps best advantages is the attention he diverts away from shitheels like EDF and their grungy ilk.

Translation-My inability to keep my shit together during political discussion is a liability and I'm unable to to differentiate between when discussion is appropriate and when I'm expressing myself . This is other people's fault, because that Conservative councelor we really needed to persuade for funding walked out when I started screaming that I fealt I was being raped by him asking me for stats was his fault not mine.

Conversations are debates except when they touch on my pet SJW issues; these are not up for debate. NO BOTH SIDES BITCH!
Emotions are hindrances to reaching conclusions except when they're MINE!
I expect you to remain a calm tone, but if you expect that of me, you're TONE POLICING!

Imagine a Prisoner's Dilemma where one prisoner announces they're going to pick defect, and then they get indignant when the other side also picks defect.

Hah, I've run into some of these myself.
"When I talk about politics it's not a debate, either I'm educating you on the Truth, or if I'm factually incorrect I'm just venting"
You don't get to unilaterally decide whether a conversation is a debate open to disagreement or if it's just a monologue where the other person has to patiently listen to you scream nonsense at them. Yeah, you can decide you don't want to talk about whether trans women are real women, but you don't get to just say "Nope I'm right" and keep screaming people down who disagree.
If you're super emotional about a factual topic, why would anyone want to talk to you about it? If someone's response to reasonable debate is to scream that I'm a nazi, I'm not gaslighting or silencing them if I say I'm not willing to discuss things if they're not going to be calm.
Really at the end this just seems like "Women have different conversational needs than men and you're a bad person if you think conversations are supposed to drive toward a solution, agreement, or point." And if you're talking about politics, yes, you need to have a point, because politics is suggesting Policies to fix problems. It's not about feelings. It is literally all about solutions.
So maybe we need another chart to counter this, talking about how it's gaslighting to insist you want to talk about politics when really you're not interested in finding solutions. How men aren't just there to absorb women's emotional venting quietly and politely. How verbally abusing someone for their political position isn't respectful.
Also, I think you need to pick one of these two options:
1. Women are more emotional about politics and don't really want to talk about solutions, just to vent.
2. Women's voices must be listened to when deciding policy because they have valid opinions and solutions.
I think number 2 is the one we should stick with, but that means women also get held to the same standards of civility. If you can't state your political views calmly then don't expect people to engage with you in good faith.

This graphic makes me think that Tone Policing is the best thing ever and should be in the fucking drinking water.https://everydayfeminism.com/2015/12/tone-policing-and-privilege/
