Comment on Uber is letting women avoid male drivers and riders in the US

So does this mean there is going to gender verification to go along with age verification?
Seems like something that would happen in this timeline.

No because the presumption is that you will provide ID to your employer and they will go by whatever is on the ID when assigning rides.

What employer? Uber drivers are independent contractors.

I mean when you sign up to being a driver you have to give out your information so that they can verify you are qualified so they already have that covered

Well that too but I was thinking of the riders. I’m assuming only women can request women drivers.
Or is this just a shit to uber being all women drivers?
Women want women driver because of safety. Men want women drivers because men.

Asking “what gender do you identify as?” isn’t tyranny and does not involve uploading your ID. Pretty much most services I know ask “what is your gender?”

Plus, I’ve never used a ride share before but if you say as a client “I identify as a woman”, and a female driver shows up to pickup another ‘female’ client and it’s obviously a group of dudes, couldn’t she flag them as false information?
Also not trying to trans shame, I’m literally married to a trans person.

It’s posible that you would just have to check a box but I guess we’ll see, I hope that’s true bcs privacy but I can see why they would go a step beyond

Here we go, with a whole bunch more trans controversy.

Yep, basically where I was going with this.
