I'd assume if you get legal action thrown at you though, it'd be a lot harder to deny if you also were picking a gender to get specific drivers.
Legal action for picking the "wrong" option in an app? Also, "I'm gender fluid, your honor", so good luck proving anything.
By "nefarious purposes" I meant serious stuff. Some deranged fuck decides to kill (edit: a certain gender) and there's not much you can do after they point a gun or put a knife to the driver's neck. It's too late by then.
I don't know, I understand their intention, but it seems to have some flaws.
I'm pretty sure the nefarious purpose one isn't actually dealt with by this and is an extreme outlier
