Do you teach about women with sexisms or black people with racisms?
However you can have a "disability" without having an impairment. Women in the UK were disabled up until 1928 (when they had the vote and were able to stand as candidates)
Your "ability" is related to the skills you have learned and the technology you are able to control.
I still have a problem with the long term use of "disability", hopefully as we become more civilised it will go away.
