Uber will let women drivers and riders request to avoid being paired with men starting next month.

Riders
- Request on-demand: When requesting a trip on demand, women riders will see an option called Women Drivers. If the wait time is longer than anticipated, they can always opt for another ride with a faster pickup.
- Reserve in advance: For more planning and certainty, women riders can use Reserve to pre-book a trip with women drivers.
- Set a preference: Riders can set a preference for a woman driver in their app settings. While it’s not guaranteed, turning on the Women preference increases your chances of being matched with a woman driver.
For Drivers
Women drivers can simply toggle on the “Women Rider Preference” in their app settings. If they want to receive trip requests from all riders, they can turn the preference off at any time.
wondering if they will include me as a trans woman
Seems to depend on the rider. The video OP posted shows that you can cancel your trip if your "expectations aren't being met and the driver isn't as expected"
I would certainly hope so.
