Australian court rules biology is ambiguous, biological male can join ‘Giggle for Girls’ app
The Federal Court of Australia has ruled in favour of a biological male joining on all-girl chat room on the grounds that “sex is not confined to being a biological concept.”
A biological male who identifies as a woman and goes by the name Roxanne Tickle sued Sall Grover, founder of female-only app Giggle for Girls for discriminating against him due to its policy of maintaining a space exclusively for women.
The court ruled Tickle faced unlawful discrimination when he was rejected membership to the female-only networking app due to his maleness.
Tickle was subject to “indirect discrimination,” the court found. Grover has to pay him AUD$10,000 in compensation and legal costs, according to Alliance Defending Freedom (ADF) International.
“The stakes are high in this case. Women’s international human rights will be lost if ‘woman’ now includes any male who identifies as such. This decision matters not just in Australia but also to the watching world,” said Grover’s lawyer Katherine Deves of Alexander Rashidi Lawyers, per ADF.
Tickle argued he was “legally permitted to identify as female.” He had his birth certificate changed to indicate female and therefore should be allowed in female-only spaces he asserted.
Defence said women should have the right to their own spaces, both in daily life and online.
“In ruling that Tickle, a biological male, was a victim of discrimination when prevented from joining a woman’s app, the court has delivered an egregiously flawed judgment that removes protections for women," said ADF International Director of Advocacy, who supported Giggle for Girls in the court.
Yet, the court rejected the defence that Tickle was “not unlawfully discriminated against, but instead disqualified from joining the app due to his male sex.”
“Sex is not confined to being a biological concept referring to whether a person at birth had male or female physical traits, nor confined to being a binary concept, limited to the male or female sex,” said the court.
“For decades, women’s movements have fought for the right to have female spaces in society. Yet today, the clock is being wound back,” said Grover, per ADF International.
“I designed my app to give women their own space to network. It is a legal fiction that Tickle is a woman. His birth certificate has been altered from male to female, but he is a biological man, and always will be. A woman’s-only app isn’t about discrimination. It’s about freedom of speech, belief and association.”
“We are taking a stand for the safety of all women’s only spaces, but also for basic reality and truth, which the law should reflect.”
Grover earlier said if she lost in court, she would appeal and fight the case all the way to Australia’s High Court.
More good points re separation.

A few days ago, I had a discussion with a widely respected western businessman, and good friend, about the current independence movement in Alberta and Saskatchewan. I was intrigued by his thoughts about how we might advance the goal of greater western autonomy at this time in our history.
We agreed that, despite the gallant efforts of many, for far too many years, the flame for fairness has been repeatedly ignored and snuffed out, again and again. The harsh reality is, if an insufficient number of westerners don’t take the issue of independence seriously, why should eastern Canadians?
Unsurprisingly my savvy friend raised a couple of points during our conversation that I have been gnawing on since. The first was nothing new, although for at least two reasons it has become more time sensitive.
First is the disastrous state of Canada and the fact that the federal Liberal government continues to chart a ...

Canada Can't Be Fixed. Alberta Needs to Chart Its Own Course
JEFFREY RATH:
Friends, I’ve said it before and I’ll keep saying it. Alberta’s future does not lie within a broken, dysfunctional Canada. It lies in our own hands, building an independent Alberta, run by Albertans, for Albertans.
I had the privilege of addressing a room full of hardworking, freedom-loving Albertans recently. If you missed it, I want you to hear exactly what I told them. The stakes couldn’t be higher, and the time for polite conversations is long gone.
The Truth They Don’t Want You to Hear
For over 100 years, Alberta has been treated like Ottawa’s colony. We’ve been stripped of wealth, muzzled by regulation, and told to sit quietly while Eastern politicians decide our fate. Meanwhile, our resources bankroll Quebec’s surpluses and our families pay the price with higher taxes, unemployment, and lost opportunities.
Ottawa’s latest trick? Universal Basic Income to create a nation of dependent voters. Lower the voting age ...
