“What is a woman?” is the question at the center of the latest landmark case involving transgender rights, which has resulted in a significant ruling against the founder of a female-only app. The Australian Federal Court found that banning a transgender woman from Giggle for Girls was an act of unlawful discrimination.
Sall Grover, the founder of the app, was ordered to pay $10,000 in damages and legal costs to Roxanne Tickle, who was removed from the platform in what the judges say was indirect discrimination.
Tickle, however, initially sought to receive a compensation of $200,000.
