Congratulations, you are being played. In the end, the Conservatives will destroy DEI and repress LGBTQ - and you won't have any more help as a blind person, because they never really cared and just manipulated you into hating "the gays" instead of hating them. Trump HATES you deeply, you know? He despises you, as a loser, a cripple, someone less-than-human. It is just that gay people are more politically active and visible, so they are more useful as a foe for his "two minutes of hate" - for now.

“Those people . . . ” Donald said, trailing off. “The shape they’re in, all the expenses, maybe those kinds of people should just die.”
Meanwhile while you froth at the mouth against the "DEI bunch", disabled people are ending unemployed en masse right this very moment, thanks to the crazy cuts to Federal Workforce - the only big employer who tried to do things right.

No, I am not fighting anyone. I am just not willing to support the way DEI is going.
Equality is an illusion. Inclusion is a lie. Diversity is the only fact in the TLA.

If you say so. So if someone is not willing to support your overboarding causes, that person is obviously being played by someone else? It is absolutely not possible they consider your crying inappropriate?
> because they never really cared and just manipulated you into hating "the gays" instead of hating them.
I agree, general society was never willing to spend real money on the issues of disability. On that point, we can agree.
However, the rest is your spiteful invention. I am not hating "the gays" at all. And I don't see why I should hate "them". Hating someone as you suggest is unhealthy, esp. for myself. I hope you learn that lesson one day. However, the rest of your writing is so full of hate and spite that I am not willing to engage in any further conversation with you.
In fact, your style of writing and accusing is one reason why I am not willing to support "your bunch" anymore.
Besides, if I had the chance to swap places with someone who thinks their gender identity issues are the worst thing that can happen to a human, I would do that anytime. Got it? No, still spiteful? I am not surprised.
"Il n'est pire aveugle que celui qui ne veut pas voir."
Yeah, right. I don't think this user ever wanted to support "that bunch".
Damn those extremists - don't they know how women got the vote, how racial segregation was ended and how persecution of gays by the police was addressed? They really need some civics lesson!
To your other question: I perceive DEI, and most other "inclusion" efforts I've seen so far, mostly as a strawman. We basically failed with digital accessibility and more inclusion in the workplace for people with disabilities. If I am not mistaken, the US and EU still stand somewhere around 80% unemployment for people with disabilities. To me, DEI is an attempt to hide that failure by including a lot more marginalized groups, which at the end of the day do not need so much adaptation as people with disabilities do. So IMO, DEI is trying to hide the fact that inclusion of people with disabilities has already failed. And its mixing up too many groups with different needs. I have absolutely nothing in common with a LGBTQ-person when it comes to my needs as a blind guy. There is no overlap, and I dont feel represented when they have their pride month. But they are so loud that the needs of my community have been silenced by now. Which confirms my intuition with DEI. Meanwhile, teachers are telling me they are working with their classes to find a new word for "disability". If that is the outcome of DEI, people endlessly engaging in wordgames, instead of working on the actual hard problems, I don't need anything from it. Its useless waste of time and dumbing down of the actual problems at hand.
