Are drivers required to provide sex assigned at birth? If not, we might see male drivers conveniently identifying as women to circumvent this (presumably to minimize wait times between rides). Although I guess they'd get canceled on a lot.
- swat535 1y agoThis is interesting, it made me think of trans genders and other minorities. It would be nice to select LGBTQ friendly rides for example. I also wonder if you transition, can you change your "sex" on Uber? how would that work and how would they prevent abuse?

- AlecSchueler 1y agoI think the attack vector is traditionally opportunistic. Horny driver suddenly has a vulnerable woman in his car and they're in a secluded area, boom there's an assault. Any driver who is so premeditated about his assault plans that he would sign up to Uber pretending to be a woman probably has easier and more direct ways to access victims that are less likely to blow up in his face.
- zahlman 1y agoThe premise here is not that men would "pretend to be women" (and sooner or later, a trans activist will decide that this charge has been levied at the wrong target) as part of a "premeditated assault plan". The premise is that men would do it either in order to protest the policy, or in order to retain access to business that they had before.
