  • 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.

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.
