The DM and the player both sound like massive tools.
"Oh, I'm going to larp as a deaf person because that's so quirky and representative teehee"
"Hey Lashondaqwenta, the party pooled together to spring you a regeneration to fix your hearing!"
"Fuck you and your ableist bullshit, DM back me up!"
"Yup yup, no effect"
Yeah, no. The only time I've ever ruled on stuff like that as a DM is when someone finds a clever application of some real-world thing (like a wizard doing funny physics, or an alchemist doing funny chemistry), or when someone has found a way to blow a hole in my plot because I forgot to account for the munchkins in the group, and even then I'd let the players choose between me fudging the results a bit and just saying "fuck it, you've killed the evil dragon rapeandmurdernax using a clever application of space lube and a ballista bolt, here's his horde, help yourselves, it's improv night after this."
Fucked up, because cursed. Uncurable. And despised. They want to play a special snowflake, there they go. But their character will have to work very hard to be trusted by even its own pack.
Yeah, all my stuff is 30 years old, mostly second ed. But I did see where they were going when they started 3rd ed, and fagged up the Children of Gaia. They're not hippies.
As for the Gypsy crap, they could have just said that "Gypsies are fictional supernatural beings, with whom the Rom (or w/e) get confused (just like with everything else in the WoD.)
I read one page of the post-apocalypse newWoD book (Forsaken?) and puke-noped right the hell out. Meanwhile, the second edition main book grabbed me right by the tits, an instant buy.
A mermaid-ish creature lures the party, and the Person of Deafness resists.
Little did the Deafag know, the lure was to save them, and those that were charmed avoid a brutal death by a soul-devouring creature, making resurection impossible for the SJW character
At that point, I'd find another table.

All other times, it's rules as written.
Two words: Metis Garou.

I find it amusing that the successor company to white wolf have since since drunk the SocJus koolaid.

I've got Wraith: The Oblivion splats from that era. Demon Core book, too.
As opposed to core nWoD, the vampire & antagonist books and nothing else.
Easily 4 or 5 times more of the older books.
Similarly, I have loads of 1st & 2nd edition Exalted, but only the 3rd ed corebook.
They've gone down hill on the road from black dog to onyx path...
Just create a situation where the militantly deaf character gets everyone killed.
A mermaid-ish creature lures the party, and the Person of Deafness resists.
Little did the Deafag know, the lure was to save them, and those that were charmed avoid a brutal death by a soul-devouring creature, making resurection impossible for the SJW character
