The ride service group Lyft recently announced a new program called “Women + Connect.” The program is set up to help women and non binaries “increase their chances of matching with more women and nonbinary riders.” One of its employees is a transgender woman, so a man, who is looking forward to driving other “women” around.

The new program, built in partnership with groups like the Human Rights Campaign, It’s on Us, National Association of Women Law Enforcement Executives and the National Sheriffs Association, seeks to cultivate “good vibes” with queer drivers and queer passengers. 

“Conversations that turn into friendships. Comfortable silence. A nod that says ‘I get it.’ Women+ Connect empowers women and nonbinary riders and drivers,” the webpage said. 

Lyft partnered with transgender influencer Davie Felton. Feltin, who lists his pronouns as “she/her” and wrote “magic, queer, purple” in his bio, has almost a million followers on TikTok.

Most of his videos talk about transgender rights and his experience being misgendered but there’s also a wide selection of him dancing, posing and singing to his camera. It’s weird. 

Who better to represent “women” than a man? 

At the end of last month, Feltin posted his paid partnership with Lyft announcing his excitement to be part of the Women + Connect group.

 

Feltin and his car, “Maxine,” have been “driving with Lyft for over six years.

“Women + Connect is a feature that matches women and nonbinary drivers with more women and nonbinary riders,” Feltin said in the video. “I’m so excited! This feature offers more control over the driving experience for women and nonbinary people allowing them to feel more confident in the car.”

I would be feeling the opposite of “confident” if Feltin was my driver. If I saw him in the driver seat I had scheduled to pick me up, I’d cancel the service. If you aren’t smart enough to know that you are a man or a woman and live a delusion, I don't believe you are smart enough to operate a vehicle.

This program launched in September of last year but was only available in select cities. Now however, to Feltin’s delight, the service will be available nationwide. 

In response, many people plan to boycott Lyft. 

Leftism, a group who posts on X wrote, “There are many alternatives to Lyft. Use them. Don't give Lyft your business. Let's make them Bud Light 2.0,” and later added the hashtag “#BoycottLyft.”

“Lyft is begging to be the next Bud Light. Do they really think that women feel safer being driven by a biological man in womanface? #BoycottLyft,” another user wrote. “#BoycottLyft  I'm so over this shit. Some women have real trauma at the hands of men and deserve a safe option,” someone added.

Many users pointed out the danger having Feltin as a “woman” driver could pose. “#BoycottLyft @lyft is calling this feature 'Women+' which means that women who don't know what they're signing up for may choose this service thinking they'll be safe with women, not knowing that this is actually a service that will allow predators to find us more easily,” a user wrote.

Unfortunately Lyft’s alternative, Uber, isn’t much better. That company has been vocal about its support for abortion and includes abortions (as well as travel expenses) for women on its healthcare plan.

While I understand that Lyft wants to help bridge connections from one freak to another, it looks like Lyft is going to be the next victim of “get woke, go broke.”
