Australia’s Supreme Court is set to rule this week on a case brought by a biological male, identifying as a woman, who is seeking full access to a woman-only app, and a written apology from the company for not allowing him to join.
Roxanne Tickle, a man who identifies as a woman, sued the app “Giggle for Girls” in December of 2022 for discrimination after he was not allowed to join the female-only networking app.
The respondent in the case is represented by Katherine Deves of Alexander Rashidi Lawyers. Deves stated that the landmark case forces the country’s Supreme Court to answer the question, “What is a woman?”
The Australian Supreme Court heard the case, Tickle v. Giggle, on April 9 and is expected to issue a ruling later this week.
