Explain how sorting the list of available passengers by gender is discrimination? It's being rolled out in huge metropolitan markets so there will be enough drivers for everyone to get one.

@flumph if they allowed sorting the list by race, instead of by gender... would you understand how it's discrimination, then?

The protected category doesn't matter, I don't see how anyone is getting a leg up or being held back by the feature.

@flumph so, if there was a button that allowed drivers to prioritize white passengers, but there wasn't one to prioritize black passengers, that wouldn't be discriminatory to you?
