Fascinating how the same product serves completely different needs in Saudi Arabia vs US/EU
Depends if they can go past newspeak and correctly define a women
This is actually not a bad question.

What stops male sex predators from declaring a female gender identity to enroll in the program?

How is this not discrimination?
Discrimination isn’t always illegal, as it’s the mechanism for decision making, when you choose A over B.

Offering a diversity of services for a larger subset of choices and maintaining the original choice is the positive way to look at it.

Because you’re still able to call a regular uber.
Discrimination against men drivers or something?
