Historic Ruling in Australia on Transgender Rights

Reported about 2 months ago

An Australian Federal Court ruled that removing transgender woman Roxanne Tickle from the female-only app Giggle for Girls was discriminatory, marking a significant ruling on gender identity in the country. Tickle, who had previously sued the app after her account was revoked, received a compensation of A$10,000, affirming the illegality of treating transgender women differently from cisgender women based solely on their appearance or birth sex. The case, the first of its kind since reforms to the Sex Discrimination Act in 2013, highlights the ongoing struggles for transgender rights in Australia.
