Regardless of whether you like the term SJW it is an accurate way to describe the person who wrote the blog (medium) post.
I can't really see any issues in the summary quoted.

No, "SJW" is not an accurate way to describe any actual person. It's an invented construct, describing a set of Others.

If you aren't aware of this, you aren't digging very much into the various claims made using the term. If you aren't aware of how this pattern of behavior comes to exist, see https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rE3j_RHkqJc

Every construct is invented. Some are used for to label your own group and some are used to label the other. There is a particular type of profile that this term is used for.

There are also plenty of people who have adopted it to describe themeselves. Those people match pretty much perfectly the profile.

That you and others accept that these groups exist and make you different from the other people is some fundamental way speak quite convincingly to how effective the propaganda campaign was.
