Hey Internet... Have we heard of 'victimisation' under Australian Discrimination Law? Please think about consequence for targeting individuals due to their complaint to the Australian Human Rights Commission (AHRC) under the Sex Discrimination Act (SDA), that there could be penalties of fines and/or imprisonment regarding actions online and/or other public spaces etc. 🔶 Section 47A Victimisation 🔶 Section 94 Victimisation (a) in the case of a natural person—25 penalty units or imprisonment for 3 months, or both; or (b) in the case of a body corporate—100 penalty units. (current value of a penalty unit is $330AUD - ie. 25 x 330 = $8,250 or 100 x 330 = $33,000) There is also a requirement to prove your data/research if you do make a claim or take an action that my be deemed a breach of discrimination acts Section 87. SDA references and the 'Unlawful Discrimination' definition as referenced in S47A of the SDA within the Australian Human Rights Commission Act 1986 screenshots below.

@GyllKing It seems that the policy originally allowing transgender women onto the app may not have been in place when Tickle registered. Would be very interested to know exact dates of this policy change, and what brought it on. x.com/i/status/20608…
Sport. Lifestyle. Culture.@Media_SLC

It is unclear in the research of looking into the judgements or public records when Giggle for Girls (Giggle) chose to change their policy to no longer permit transgender women on their app (if this is in the judgement please let me know). POLICY CHANGE However as @themamabun has shown in prior tweets, Giggle did originally permit transgender women, at least as of March 2020 - even using the language 'identify as a girl'... It is unclear why or when this changed. Noteworthy that in paragraph [110] of Tickle v Giggle, Tickle downloaded and registered for Giggle in February 2021. "Yes! Trans-girls are 100% welcome on giggle. Giggle’s “gender verification” onboarding process is a gatekeeper to stop men from getting on to the platform, not girls or those who identity as girls." FAQ "Are trans-girls welcome on Giggle?" at March 2020: web.archive.org/web/2020031923… CONSULTATION WITH TRANSGENDER WOMEN Also as previously shown by @themamabun, in reporting from February 2020 by @verge regarding concerns related to security and tech issues of Giggle; Giggle claimed that they had actually consulted with trans women... “We worked with trans girls who decided it was best to be upfront with a flaw so there wasn’t any hurtful misgendering,” she explained. Later, she said she was “grateful for the feedback” and agreed that some of the wording on the website was “hideous.” The Verge Article: archive.is/fHYCN #GvT #TvG #gigglevtickle #ticklevgiggle #transgender #SDA

This isn’t true. Roxy Tickle joined the Giggle app in good faith & at the time that Sall Grover was publicly stating that it was trans inclusive. Whatever made Grover change her mind it wasn’t anything Tickle did. Truth matters. The anti trans movement is built on lies & hate.

@GyllKing Tickle was welcomed until he was found to be a liar, on a women only platform without honestly disclosing his identity. Tickle was a deceitful aggressor, intent on pushing into a women only space

In the original judgement (and other areas in both judgements), it was confirmed that Tickle had been provided access to the Giggle for Girls app through the AI software which approved her image. The "blocking" of Tickle as a user occurred due to a manual process which has since been accepted by Grover that it would most likely have been herself who changed the access to the app for Tickle. judgments.fedcourt.gov.au/judgments/Judg…

@Funfems I think I’m right in saying Tickle was approved by the app AI facial recognition and gained access but was removed when Grover personally looked at the photos 9 months later?

This 100%. There was an agenda. Why else did she start as trans inclusive then pivot??

Bun@themamabun

Giggle would not have qualified as a special measure in the form that was taken to tribunal. If she really had wanted to keep the app alive and a “female only space” she would have gone to arbitration as initially requested, said sorry for unclear and changeable business practices, then restructured in a way that qualified. Or applied for an exemption. Or relaunched as a private member group. Her actions would indicate she had no intention of continuing with the app or indeed, winning the case. From a business perspective her whole case was a bullshit non-starter. The only entities interests being represented in these cases were fundamentalist Christian groups because in terms of women’s rights the existing SDA is fit for purpose if applied appropriately.

Hi Jenny, Agreed. There are many ways someone could be believed to a woman, like having a gender neutral name for example. The reason for the photos in this instance is that there is currently a very prominent perspective being shared by those who do not believe Transgender women could ever possibly be considered a woman by appearance by anyone if they didn't know their sex/gender identity. I am not a fan of differentiating between 'passing' and 'non-passing' persons, but believe for the argument being waged regarding looks etc. that it shows it's not as 'black and white' or 'common sense' as is being suggested.

@Media_SLC @ThatAussieWoman What's the point of the photos? *Any* man cd be mistaken for a woman - on a CV say, if he had a name that employer mistakes for a woman's. So yes, *any* man in such circumstances has been a victim of discrimination by perception. What he looks like is entirely irrelevant to that.

I appreciate the conversation in good faith. Do you believe that the three people in the top row could be believed to be female if they haven't disclosed their sex to a potential employer, or other person in society that may discriminate against them due to this belief? People don't ordinarily have a marking on their shirt/forehead etc disclosing sex, with or without legal document changes.

It is black and white - Men never need pregnancy protections, women do. Because of SEX. The insanity of men pretending to be women and women pretending to be men and being legally recognised as the sex they are not, is the only complication. and it is wholly concocted on the basis of 'Gender', which remains undefined in law. Pregnant women with beards and no breasts still need women's rights. Men in frilly knickers with silicone tits don't.

To bring some real world understanding to the realities of transgender people currently existing in society, and the protections afforded to women, and subsets of women/females regarding 'pregnancy protections'. From the article: "The act supports this contention because it refers to “women” in connection with pregnancy, potential pregnancy and breastfeeding, “all of which are circumstances that can only be experienced by women”." These 6 people are ALL currently afforded pregnancy and/or potential pregnancy protections in Australia. If bathroom laws changed, half of them would be forced to use the women's bathroom... The other half the men's.... archive.is/2026.06.12-121…

Sall Grover@salltweets

“A former Family Court judge says it was “an extraordinary overreach” for the Federal Court to find that the ordinary meaning of “woman” includes a biological male who merely identifies as a woman in a decision now set to be challenged in the High Court.”

Bun@themamabun·
Sigh. The court did not “inaccurately” say that sex is changeable. The court stated clearly that it was not commenting on biology, but sex as a legal construct can be changed under existing Australian law (eg under the passport act etc.) so as a LEGAL construct sex is therefore already proven to be legally changeable for the purposes of this case. It’s almost like people are deliberately choosing to misrepresent this case for their own personal gain or something.
Andy Ngo@MrAndyNgo

The Federal Court in Australia has upheld a prior ruling that a male who was excluded from a women’s social media app was discriminated against. Sall Grover, the app’s founder, was fined. The three judges, made up of two women and a man, increased the fine following the unsuccessful appeal. The court previously inaccurately said that “sex is changeable.”
