It's still fridging, because Barbara Gordon's being shot was all about causing Batman and Commissioner Gordon pain. But later writers took the idea of her being wheelchair-bound and showed that what happened to her hadn't destroyed her, that she still had a role to play aside from Joker Victim # eleventy-billion. They took what happened to her and wrote stories about her, not about how what happened to her galvanized Batman to try and finally off the Joker. Fridging isn't just about hurting female characters. It's hurting female characters in order to promote character development in male characters, because nothing promotes character growth like yet another revenge quest by a brooding hero.

So magically poofing her disability away also took away all the years when Barbara Gordon was awesome despite not kicking ass in a skintight leotard. And a lot of people who saw someone who faced the same challenges they did still being awesome had that taken away, because what's the use of a female comic character if not to kick ass in a skin tight costume and be nostalgia fap-fodder?
