A transgender woman has won a discrimination case in an Australian court after being removed from a female-only social networking app.

Roxanne Tickle, a resident of New South Wales, was blocked from the platform Giggle for Girls in 2021. She filed a complaint with the Federal Court of Australia, alleging that the app's founder, Sally Grover, personally intervened to remove her based on the perception that her profile photo appeared to be that of a man.
