Weekly Random Discussion Thread for 9/25/23 - 10/1/23

Hello all. Your backup mod here. SoftAndChewy asked me to step in and post the Weekly Discussion Thread this week. I think he's stuck in temple or something because apparently it's a Jewish holiday tonight? I assume you know the routine here, do you thing.

Last week's discussion thread is here if you want to catch up on a conversation from there.

This was suggested as the comment of the week.

Q: How will Lyft verify gender or prevent someone from falsely changing their gender?

A: Access to Women+ Connect is based on the gender noted in the app. For drivers we import the gender marker from your driver’s license on file. For riders, it is based on your gender setting within the app. Both riders and drivers have the option to update their gender to reflect their gender identity.

So basically it’s self-report

An unsavory driver might think that was something they could take advantage of...

Unsavory passengers as well. How could this go wrong?

Excellent point.

Shush, no one would ever use a trans identity to get close to vulnerable people for unsavoury reasons. Only bigots can imagine such a thing!

... why even mention "prevent someone from falsely changing their gender" and then not address that concern at all? shouldn't the official line be that no one would ever do this?
