Women-only social media app Giggle for Girls taken to court by transgender woman Roxanne Tickle after her account was restricted
Social media platform Giggle for Girls is being sued by transgender woman Roxanne Tickle after her access to the women-only app was revoked. The app's owner has denied Ms Tickle is a woman.
- In short: Transgender woman Roxanne Tickle is suing social media platform Giggle for Girls after she was excluded from the women-only app.
- She is alleging unlawful discrimination on the basis of gender identity while the app's founder has denied she is a woman.
- What's next? The hearing is expected to run for four days.
A transgender woman who was excluded from a women-only social media app should be awarded damages because the app's founder has persistently denied she is a woman, a Sydney court has heard.
In February 2021, Roxanne Tickle downloaded the Giggle for Girls social networking app, which was marketed as a platform exclusively for women to share experiences and speak freely.
Users needed to provide a selfie, which was assessed by artificial intelligence software to determine if they were a woman or man.
Ms Tickle's photograph was determined to be a woman and she used the app's full features until September that year, when the account became restricted because the AI decision was manually overridden.

I have nothing to add, just amused by the fact that a Tickle can’t get a giggle.
Well, Tickle has a pickle, and giggle’s really fickle.
“Fickle Giggle won’t allow Pickled Tickle.” These headlines write themselves!
She had GRS, it's just transphobia in pun form
“Hey fuck you for correctly pointing out transphobia, downvote”
What the fuck lemmy, we’re really making “pickle” jokes about a trans woman? Are we fucking chrischan? Grow up.
Take a look around. See how often it is lemmy.world accounts making transphonic jokes like that and come to your own conslusion.
Yeah I thought my pickle joke was funny too. It rhymed for fuck sake.
Stick out of ass, remove it. Everything can be joked about, deal with it.
Likewise anyone is free to say “that joke isn’t funny”, you deal with it. Fucking snowflake lmao
Still laughing at you though.
Meanwhile the jokes you’re defending have already been removed.
Y’know, for the transphobia.
Have fun laughing tho 💖
Will do ta, everything is a joke.
I still see it just fine
I bet you have at least one thing you'd turn into the biggest snowflake about if ridiculed for/laughed at. Bigots always do.
Is that even a sentence that proves anything? You state " One thing would make you a snowflake if ridiculed"
I mean what are you even trying to say? That trans people are snow flakes for being upset? That's pretty shitty of you.
