The creator of a female-only app who was found to have discriminated against a transgender woman has called on Australians to ‘wake up’ to the erosion of women’s rights, as she prepares to appeal the decision.
Sall Grover, the founder of the app Giggle for Girls, lost a Federal Court case last month brought by transgender woman Roxanne Tickle.
Ms Grover had banned the 54-year-old from the app in 2021, arguing it was for women and Ms Tickle is biologically male.
Ms Tickle had identified as a woman since 2017, undergoing surgery two years later and getting a new birth certificate that showed her as female.
Justice Robert Bromwich found Ms Tickle had suffered discrimination, ordering Ms Grover to pay $10,000 in damages – a small fraction of the $200,000 that was being sought – and to cover legal costs.
Now, Ms Grover has issued a warning to all Australians.
‘They’re forcing you to believe that men are women and, if they can force you to believe that, they can force you to believe anything,’ Ms Grover told Daily Mail Australia.
‘Politicians cannot campaign to end violence against women and try to look like the good guys when they are literally forcing through legislation for women to not be able to say “no” to men.’
