Australia court doubles payout for trans woman in landmark discrimination case
A Sydney court has doubled the discrimination payout for an Australian trans woman who was kicked off a female-only app.
It comes almost two years after Roxanne Tickle successfully sued Sall Grover, founder of the Giggle for Girls app, for blocking her account on the grounds of gender identity.
Grover lodged an appeal against that verdict, but on Friday, the Federal Court dismissed it and further found that Tickle was directly – rather than indirectly – discriminated against by Grover.
Tickle was also awarded compensation of AU$20,000 ($14,000; £11,000), double the original amount.
Unfuckingbelievable.
So in Australia women cannot have anything that is just for women? And the legal system is cool with that, and eager to tighten the screws on women who resist?
Under the country’s Sex Discrimination Act, it is illegal for providers of goods or services to discriminate against another person on the ground of a person’s gender identity.
But it’s not on the ground of the person’s god damn genner idenniny it’s on the ground of the person’s sex. Genner idenniny is just a claim, a pretend, a label, a choice, a fantasy, a stupid idea in the head of a man, a make-believe, a joke, a taunt, a sadistic game, a fuck you to every woman on the planet.
In Friday’s Federal Court judgement, the full court found that Grover had engaged in unlawful direct discrimination, saying she had treated Tickle “who is a transgender woman, less favourably than a person designated female at birth seeking access to the Giggle App”.
Are there any aboriginal groups in Australia? If so have any of them been forced to let newcomers join because to keep them out would be treating the newcomers less favorably than a person designated aboriginal at birth? Please advise.
Grover founded the Giggle for Girls app in 2020 in response to online abuse by men during her time as a screenwriter in Hollywood.
So now it’s Australia that’s abusing her. Thanks a lot.
