Uber is letting women avoid male drivers and riders in the US (www.uber.com)

When women riders and drivers told us they wanted more control over how they ride and earn, we listened. That feedback led to Women Preferences, features designed to give women the choice to ride with other women. Since our first pilots last summer, we’ve heard just how much that choice matters—from feeling more comfortable in the back seat to more confident behind the wheel.

unless you've actually literally lived as a woman you cannot know the monumental amount of sexual harassment we face and fear on a day-to-day basis. doubly so for trans women. every single moment i am alone in public i am deathly anxious that i could be harassed (sexually or otherwise) or hate-crimed or whatever. and the worst part is, there's nothing i could do about it. the perpetrator would get away scot-free. the cops do not fucking care

however bad you think it is, it's worse. whatever you're imagining, it is exponentially more horrendous

This is the thing as a former white man.

Authority to touch others flows down the privilege hierarchy.

Trans women are always judged as the aggressor, always. Our bodies are considered public property.
