Hey uhh Lyft what the fuck
- Non-binary does not mean "woman+."
- How do you think the average cis woman who uses this would react to a 6'8" genderfluid Viking with a luxurious goatee? Do you think she's going to say, "Of course non-binary people don't Look A Certain Way" or do you think she's gonna throw a shitfit about how she Doesn't Want A MAAaaAAaan Driving Her? (Never mind that this match isn't guaranteed anyway.)
- Non-binary does not mean "woman+."
- Surely, this won't be used by transphobes to get a trans person alone in a car in an isolated area!
- Non-binary does not mean "woman+".
- This will surely be Totally Safe and won't be used to target women and queers!
- Did I mention that non-binary does not mean "woman+"?
- I am a survivor of domestic abuse and CSA perpetuated by cis women. The idea that being with a woman or trans driver makes me safer is... cringe, at best.
- Hey, you know, if I were a violent transphobe, it would be super fucking easy to create a dummy profile with a fake girl picture and use it to target women and trans people.
- As always, if you're a trans man, this does not include you, which is, you know, super weird, bc Lyft pushes this about being about economic opportunity for drivers and trans dudes have some of the statistically worst rates of poverty.
I get what they're trying to do, but like... how many people who have actually driven Lyft or Uber for any length of time were involved in this? How many people who were AMAB and are non-binary, or who are Just Fucking Sick Of Being Treated Like Women+ or Spicy Cis Women?
For fuck's sake, they literally CALLED IT WOMEN+.
Got shut out from an LGBT programming scholarship because I'm a genderfluid AMAB. They said "it's only for women and nonbinary women." Then they called me a nonbinary man and I wanted to rip out someone's throat
... wow.
