" Monica Jones, a globally recognized activist in the fight for transgender civil rights, was merely looking to enjoy an evening in a Phoenix bar Friday when she received an alarming message on Facebook: A friend discovered someone had posted a "word of caution" online about her, naming her and identifying where she was.   

The person posting this "warning" knew she was at the Cruisin' 7th bar, a watering hole popular with local transgender people, because he had just driven her there.

He was her Lyft driver."
