Australia's High Court has rejected a final appeal by the founder of Giggle for Girls, a women-only social networking app, confirming that the platform unlawfully discriminated against transgender woman Roxanne Tickle, 57. Tickle was initially admitted to the app via automated facial recognition in 2021 but was removed seven months later after founder Sall Grover personally reviewed her photo; a discrimination complaint and subsequent lawsuit found this constituted direct discrimination under Australia's Sex Discrimination Act. The ruling, which raises the damages award to AUD 20,000 (approximately €17,000) plus AUD 100,000 in legal costs, marks the end of a landmark case — the first brought under a 2013 amendment to that Act which explicitly protects transgender people.
