The founder of the female-only app Giggle for Girls has lost an appeal against an earlier ruling that found she discriminated against a male-to-female trans person after blocking her from her app.

In 2024, the Federal Court of Australia found Giggle app owner Sall Grover had “indirectly discriminated” against transgender woman Roxanne Tickle by denying her access to the app based on her appearance in her profile photo.
