Basically, a test to see if someone only knows conformist ideas or if they're capable of seeing alternative perspectives?

Has anyone actually in a wheelchair opted to roll (heh) the battle wheelchair?
Those NEVER made any sense to me on any level; firstly magic and healing potions exist within the d and d universe; secondly who the fuck enforces accessibility rules on, say, a black dragon?
I chose a black dragon a they are known to be capricious and psychotic even by dragon standards
It's the same with the tranny in BG remake expansion (siege of draognspear). Even if you know nowthing about DnD, the original game (that you just remade) has a belt of femininity/masculinity as a cursed item. An item that changes your sex.
Magic that changes your sex. It is the dream come true for any tranny. No HRT, no surgery, just equip the belt and you are what you want to be at 100%.
But for whatever reason that is not something that the tranny sought out (hey, it's a cursed item and other people are happy if they can hand it over to a willing recipient).
Those people (and it also applies to the wheelchair) just want to push their agenda and want to talk about it in a game setting. That the game has already solved their issue (by having magic) and a perfect solution for people like them exist? Nope, not enough.
It's because they don't actually want to be a woman. They want to be a monster, and force you to call them a woman.
You could build a pretty good campaign around a quest to obtain scarce healing magic for your crippled character.
Alternatively, you could have it so that magical healing restores people to their soul-state. To the state they are "meant" to be in. And over time, their souls adjust to their bodies, so old wounds cannot be healed as the soul has accepted the affliction.
Even so, being stuck in a wheelchair should make adventuring an immensely and instantly bad idea. And most of any sensible mechanics built around it are almost certainly more likely to have a very negative and "exclusive" effect on any players rolling around in a wheelchair.
I think it's basically a purity check, or otherwise an attempt to make you bend the knee and submit to stupidity in the name of accessability.
Wait, can I strap some sword to stick out from the wheels so I can cut people down like it's a war chariot?
And maybe make it able to hover with magic so I can get over any obstacles like stairs but also do divebomb attacks from the sky..
So this is why my DM perks up when it's my turn.
