Jump school was what WAS a serious physical challenge. Actually jumping out of airplanes was one of the easiest things I have ever done.

I have no doubt a female paraplegic,ESPECIALLY if she were black or Asian,could complete jump school these days,even in her wheelchair. All you would need then would be for someone to roll her chair down the ramp of a C-130.
Anyone who isn't paranoid in 2021 just isn't thinking clearly!
