Giggle for Girls

Tickle v Giggle is an Australian federal legal case regarding the legality of the membership policies used on Giggle, a social media app for women. Giggle excluded trans women in their membership policy, and withdrew membership from Roxanne Tickle, a transgender woman from New South Wales, on that basis. In 2022, Tickle brought the case against Giggle, and in August 2024, the court found that Tickle had been indirectly discriminated against under Australia's Sex Discrimination Act, and ordered Giggle to pay costs of the case and damages. That finding was appealed both by Tickle and by Giggle's CEO, Sall Grover, with hearings on those appeals held in the Federal Court of Australia from August 4 to August 6 2025. The appeal judgment was delivered on 15 May 2026 at 2 pm AEST. The court would uphold the initial judgement and dismissed Grover's appeal, and Tickle won her cross-appeal with the court finding two instances of direct discrimination against Tickle, awarding damages of $20 000.
