Rex Ahdar: A Judicial Slap and Tickle?

In a case that will not be forgotten quickly, if only for its bizarre name, the Federal Court of Australia on 23 August 2024 upheld a claim of discrimination by a transgender woman against a social network app catering solely for women and intended to be an “online refuge” and “safe space” for women. The transgender woman, Roxanne Tickle, after initially being accepted (by AI facial recognition software) onto the mobile phone app, was later taken off it by its CEO. The written judgment in Tickle v Giggle for Girls Pty Ltd (No 2), or Tickle v Giggle for short, is lengthy (86 pages and 283 paragraphs).
