The U.N.’s Special Rapporteur on Violence Against Women, Reem Alsalem, has criticised the outcome of an Australian court case ruling that a trans individual could access a female-only mobile app.

Sall Grover founded the app Giggle for Girls exclusively for female social interaction. However, when Roxanne Tickle—born a male, but later legally changed his sex—tried to join the app, Grover decided to block her.
