Sky News host Gabriella Power has labelled the outcome of a 'what is a woman' court case as a “massive setback” for women’s rights.
Transgender woman Roxanne Tickle won gender identity case brought against women’s-only app Giggle for Girls and its owner Sall Grover after she was kicked off the platform.
Federal Court Justice Robert Bromwich found the app had “indirectly discriminated” against Ms Tickle and ordered her to pay the applicant $10,000 and her legal costs.
Justice Bromwich found that “sex is changeable” after Ms Grover argued it was not.
Ms Power argued this sets a dangerous precedent and “does not make Australia a safer place for women."
“Giggle for Girls was not designed to discriminate… it was created to help women. But some people need to make it all about themselves,” Ms Power said.
