In re: TERFs, transgender people make up a very small part of the general population, roughly .5%. The odds that any given TERF would get picked up by an UBER driver that is a transwoman are very low.
I suspect–and I’d need to be checked on this–that you would need to have gotten your gender marker changed on your driver’s license in order for Uber to correctly identify your gender. And that makes it an even smaller subset of trangender people that could trigger TERFs. OTOH, I could absolutely see a TERF going ballistic over a cisgender woman that wasn’t fully gender-conforming…

Appreciate the feedback, you are correct I didn’t mean it in a derogatory way.
I meant someone born biologically male that identifies as a woman but because of that underlying biology has some male looking characteristics.
Perhaps just a very poorly way of saying “what happens when the black and white nature of the rule they have set runs into the reality of a woman that doesn’t look like a traditional woman, and the passenger has an issue with that based on their own expectations?”
