Lyft wants to know what pronoun you want to be referred with.

I just want them to give me a ride and shut up.

“Your pronoun. Your choice.


Lyft is committed to LGBTQ+ equality and supports all expressions of gender identity.

To help us get better at addressing you, we've added a range of optional pronouns to the Lyft app.

We've also partnered with the National Center for Transgender Equality to provide drivers assistance with changing the name and gender designation on their driver's license.”

I don't think I've ever had an encounter with Lyft that required a driver to say his or him in reference to me. Seems like pandering.

No skin off my back, but I prefer to use companies that don't enable mental illness as normal.

This is a pretty big jump from "press 1 for English."

You are a weak man. This doesn't affect you in any way

Fricking finally... now I can finally feel safe purchasing my adult beverages at the store. I am glad to support such an honorable organization

If I was in the service industry and my income was based solely on clientele, I would call a client whatever made them happiest.

You wanna be called him, her, they, Harry Potter, Mugatu, His Holiness the Dalai Lama? Call you whatever you want just input your credit card info first

Just read the article. You have to go out of your way and edit your profile for this. It's totally optional. In other words, this does not affect you in anyway.... way to overreact tho

If I am using "Lyft" then I am hammered so I won't remember what they call me.

Add this to the list of things that I couldn't care less about because it has zero impact on my life.

I typically have great experiences with Lyft. On time arrivals, friendly drivers, clean cars. That's all I care about.
