A biological male has won his case in Australian Federal court to force a female-only online network to accept him as a member, to the dismay of those wanting to protect single-sex safe spaces for real women.
The case has become known as ‘Tickle v Giggle’. It involves a biological male, ‘Roxanne Tickle’, who identifies as a woman and sued ‘Giggle for Girls’, an app which has a female-only membership policy.
The case has been rumbling on for some time, but at the end of August the Federal Court of Australia ruled in favour of Roxanne Tickle, that he suffered unlawful discrimination by not being allowed to join the female-only network.
