When women riders and drivers told us they wanted more control over how they ride and earn, we listened. That feedback led to Women Preferences, features designed to give women the choice to ride with other women. Since our first pilots last summer, we’ve heard just how much that choice matters—from feeling more comfortable in the back seat to more confident behind the wheel.
That will get interesting. I can’t remember if there’s id verification on the rider end, but there will probably have to be. That could be what this whole thing is about, come to think of it…
Also, I’m wondering how they’ll treat trans and agender people who don’t have m or f, or who can’t mark their actual gender on their ID in their state.
They still have to treat a trans M to F as if they were an M, unless they transitioned completely, for practical purposes.
Don’t even bother with agender, apparent gender will be used, obviously.
Because a woman does not care what gender you want to be, only how much risk you are to her, obviously.
From what I’ve seen of these apps, they cluster NB and F together. And I’m assuming they don’t go further than state ID for validating, but I can’t say for sure one way or the other.
From what I’ve seen in a cluster F and NB as one category separately from M.
