I just use Debian

This is the least surprising thing ever

I am agreeing with you lol

Rowling will use any excuse to be transphobic though

Do you think someone will change their gender legally just so they can make like $15 extra on uber (driver’s perspective) or to get into “female only cars”? (passenger perspective)

Anyone can break any law or regulation, doesnt mean that we give up laws and regulations.

And likely not. Most services already ask you about your gender (even like reddit or tumblr) so I assume that will suffice and we wont have “ID verifying gender”

Or maybe some conservative hack will propose ID verified gender, who knows.

Suddenly the concern trolls love pretending like they care about their local ride-sharing economy because a few women will be more selective sometimes.

this place never fails with its reddit-isms and lack of nuance. If you want data, look at SA data and see the demographics of the victims vs the demographics of the perpetrators. This is a tool to give peace of mind and potentially lower SA on ubers.

I don’t think this will meaningfully hurt male drivers. Most women likely won’t use this option, or they will in scenarios like being drunk and alone only (so very situational). People are pretending like 50% of the population just chose to self segregate at all times for no reason.

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?”

It’s not stereotypes if statistically, most people who are SAd are women and most of the perpetrators are men. This isn’t just “peace of mind.”

Ask a woman who is drunk after the club late at night if she would prefer a male or female driver when she’s alone in an uber/cab and 99% will say yes.

But people will say like “oh but statistically some race commits more crime, is racism ok?” it’s not the same because patriarchy is global and is found in most cultures, sadly. So a woman wouldnt exactly be much safer with a white man vs a black man.

“A central rationale of such policies, particularly in first tier-cities, has been to prevent severe overcrowding, infrastructure overload, and the emergence of large-scale slums during China’s rapid industrialization and urbanization phases. Shahid Yusuf, a Senior Adviser in the World Bank’s Development Research Group noted that the hukou system served as a “cornerstone of China’s urbanization strategy” by controlling migration and channeling migrants toward small or medium-sized cities rather than allowing unchecked inflows to the largest urban areas.”

this sounds…good?

I assume they can still choose male drivers if there are no female ones available.

This is a good thing if you ask most women

What counts as “politeness” is meaningless. For example, it’s stupid that we aren’t “allowed” to discuss pay.

The situation really wasn’t as bad as I made it out to be. I was just talking about how I was doing in a course and my friend got jealous because I am doing much better. I didn’t brag, just like “Oh I did great on the exam”

But apparently GPA and pay are two things you can never discuss with anyone….for some reason.

Honestly I wouldnt even be surprised at this point

Where’s the line? I’m rude because I don’t pick up on social cues…that’s literally what I am diagnosed with.

“I think depressed people just need to be happier to avoid depression”

Well, NT people mask too. I thought the goal of these communities was “ND dont need to mask 24/7! Accept who you are!” and then I hear “But limit your personality in public, it makes others uncomfortable.”

People (including other autistic people) treat my autism as a liability and a nuisance. Thanks! I knew that!

If I could will myself into being less autistic…I wouldnt even be here. So what gives? Is it clueless NT allies?
