Polysemy is orthogonal to the cases I am aware of in which people are concerned about the primary meaning, an example being "slave" to refer to an item that is bound or subservient. And even in that case I think it depends on the word and how prominent the negative association is. "Disabled" seems a stretch to me, so I'd want to dig deeper and confirm it's actually a concern with some subset of users as opposed to trolling. But on the other end of the spectrum people who insist on using terms like "slave" at this point seem to be mostly using it as an excuse to virtue signal their adherence to principles of free speech.
