Court doubles damages in trans woman discrimination victory

Roxanne Tickle won on appeal after she was blocked from a women-only social media app by its founder Sall Grover. A New South Wales court upgraded the original finding from indirect to direct discrimination and doubled damages from A$10,000 to A$20,000. The ruling affirms that excluding a trans woman from a single-sex digital space constitutes direct discrimination and will affect how Australian services and apps treat trans users.

(for context for my overseas homies, Sal Grover is one of Australia's most prominent TERFs, and Roxanne Tickle is a trans woman who's been fighting her in court for several years at this point after she was banned from Grover's women-only app for being trans)
