“The High Court has refused Giggle app founder Sall Grover special leave to appeal the case brought against her by transwoman Roxanne Tickle, meaning that without new legislation, Australian law is now set in stone: men can become women, and sex is not purely biological.”
The High Court has rejected Giggle for Girls CEO Sall Grover's appeal over the Full Federal Court's decision, ending the years-long legal battle finding that Ms Tickle was directly discriminated against on two counts because of her gender identity. "Giggle and Sall Grover respectfully disagree with important aspects of the reasoning adopted by both the trial court and the Full Federal Court," the statement said at the time.
"In our view, the case raises questions of national significance concerning the meaning of sex, the operation of sex-based protections, the scope of lawful special measures, and the ability of women to establish and maintain female-only spaces.
"For that reason, we are preparing an application for Special Leave to Appeal to the High Court of Australia." The statement said the outcome of the case goes far beyond the Giggle for Girls app.
"The issues raised by this case affect a broad range of organisations, services, and communities," the statement said.
"The outcome may influence how Australian law approaches female-only spaces, women's services, sporting participation, advocacy organisations, online communities, and other areas where sex-based distinctions have historically been recognised.
"Whatever view people may hold about the broader policy questions, this litigation presents issues of substantial public importance."
