I think the term was specifically designed for the disability rights movement, not other movements. But I can see how it could sound a little patronizing.
Maybe it refers to not just standing up for yourself against discrimination, but letting people know what sorts of accommodations you need? That would explain why it isn't applied to gay and black people, since they don't need any accommodations, they just need to not be discriminated against.
I don't really think I need too many accommodations. I feel uncomfortable when people change their behavior because they see me as different.
