Women-only social media app Giggle for Girls taken to court by transgender woman Roxanne Tickle after her account was restricted
abc.net.au
- In short: Transgender woman Roxanne Tickle is suing social media platform Giggle for Girls after she was excluded from the women-only app.
- She is alleging unlawful discrimination on the basis of gender identity while the app's founder has denied she is a woman.
- What's next? The hearing is expected to run for four days.
A transgender woman who was excluded from a women-only social media app should be awarded damages because the app's founder has persistently denied she is a woman, a Sydney court has heard.
In February 2021, Roxanne Tickle downloaded the Giggle for Girls social networking app, which was marketed as a platform exclusively for women to share experiences and speak freely.
Users needed to provide a selfie, which was assessed by artificial intelligence software to determine if they were a woman or man.
Ms Tickle's photograph was determined to be a woman and she used the app's full features until September that year, when the account became restricted because the AI decision was manually overridden.

Trans women = women
Cis women = women
Cis women ≠ trans women
False, the '=' is transitive, meaning:
A = B and B = C implies A = C
The symbol you meant to use is the implication arrow: =>
Trans women => women
Cis women => women
Black women => women
Lesbian women => women
This means: If the left statement is true, the right statement must also be true. If the left statement is false, you don't know whether the right statement is true or false.
I would just use the subset symbol ⊆. I think it makes more sense here.
You're right, I don't have that on my keyboard though
Besides, a ∈ A ⊆ B => a ∈ B, so what I wrote is not THAT nonsensical
Did you understand what I was saying?
Yes?
Then it's true. This isn't a math class in university this is a conversation on Lemmy. You understood the point so my message was conveyed.
transfone!
I don't mean to be a pedant but that math doesn't make much sense.
They are trying to say that cis and trans women both fall under the larger group known as women, they just don't understand math.
I know what they are trying to say, I just don't think they realize that mathematically it doesn't make sense.
Agreed.
Could you explain what part of it doesn't make sense to you? (Or what part you disagree with) Maybe one of us can clarify better if we start there
Literally do not care I'm not in a math class I'm on Lemmy. I conveyed the point and you understood it so it did make sense. Learn how language and communication works.
