Court judges trans woman's exclusion from app unlawful

Roxanne Tickle, a transgender woman from New South Wales, found that her account on the Giggle for Girls social media app was restricted after seven months even though she was initially accepted. Ms Tickle sued the platform and its CEO Sall Grover for discrimination.

Federal Court Justice Robert Bromwich stated yesterday that the respondents had defined “sex” as the unchangeable sex assigned at birth.
