Why is the word "access" a signifier that slips to "love."

Access is not love. Access is the law.

I don't need you to "love" me in order to make something accessible.

No. I don't love you. I don't have to love you. Love is not part of my bid for civil rights. I won civil rights in 1990.
This idea that I, a disabled person, need to "love" you, in order to get access from you?

That seems abusive to me. Actually. Now that I think about it.

I should have access because it is the law.

Not because I love you.

Not because I show you any kind of "special" emotion
