ALT An excerpt from the blog post that Avi wrote: "When we’re harmed, we’re called edge cases — unlikely scenarios that “don’t affect most people” and thus aren’t worth considering. We’re told and socially conditioned to believe that abuses are inevitable, that this problem can’t be solved, and that bad actors will always exist. It doesn’t have to be this way. Companies ignore our voices and dismiss us as edge cases, not just at their own peril, but that of our society as well. We — queer folks, women, people of color, the list goes on — are not edge cases. We are real people who deserve to get the same utility and pleasure from technology as anyone else; furthermore, we make up a vast number of users. Many of us are leading experts in the harms we’ve experienced, regardless of our educational or professional backgrounds, technical abilities, or lack thereof. Our experiences and solutions must be listened to."
