Ultimately, it's essential to find a balance between individual expression and respect for others' boundaries.
Balancing accessibility and practicality: Provide essential accessibility features while keeping options practical to ensure inclusive experiences for all individuals
Accessibility and options can be a complex issue. At a park, for example, having multiple wheelchair-accessible swings might seem excessive, but for families with disabled children, it's essential.

In another context, like in entertainment, having too many options or being in an overwhelming environment, such as a casino, can lead to feelings of isolation and disconnection.
