Lyft is introducing a new feature that lets women and non-binary riders choose a preference to match with drivers of the same gender.
The ride-hailing company said it was a “highly requested feature” in a blog post Tuesday, saying the new feature allows women and non-binary people to “feel that much more confident” in using Lyft and also hopefully encourage more women to sign up to be drivers to access its “flexible earning opportunities.”
The service, called “Women+ Connect,” is rolling out in the coming months. Riders can turn on the option in the Lyft app, however the company warns that it’s not a guarantee that they’ll be matched with a women or non-binary person if one of those people aren’t nearby. Both the riders and drivers will need to opt-in to the feature for it work and riders must chose a gender for it to work.
i don’t think it’s hard to divine the meaning of “non” - it means not
and binary means “choice between two options”
put together it means “not one of the two options.”
I believe I already covered your other points (as did the other person replying), but they did reveal their gender.
Consider this: It’s more like
“Did you watch the soccer or tennis match last nigjt?”
“I don’t really like sports, I watched a movie instead”
“why are you keeping it a secret whether you watched the soccer or tennis?”
Its not a secret, there just happens to be more than two choices.
“is your name John or Christopher?”
“neither its David”
“why are you keeping your name a secret!”
etc
