在澳大利亚,变性妇女赢得了针对只针对女性的应用程序的间接歧视案件。 Transgender woman wins indirect discrimination case against female-only app Giggle for Girls in Australia.
一位变性女性在被禁止进入平台后, 起诉女性专用社交媒体应用程序Giggle for Girls, 其创始人Sall Grover为200,000澳元。 In a landmark Australian court case, a transgender woman sued the female-only social media app Giggle for Girls and its founder Sall Grover for A$200,000 after she was banned from the platform. 她确认自己是一名妇女,认为她因其性别认同而受到歧视。 She identifies as a woman and believed she was discriminated against due to her gender identity. 联邦法院认定她受到间接歧视,并命令申请支付10 000澳元加费用。 The Federal Court found she experienced indirect discrimination and ordered the app to pay her A$10,000 plus costs. 然而,Gigle的法律团队认为,本案涉及的是性而不是性别认同,拒绝使用该应用程序是合法的,因为其创始人认为原告是男性。 However, Giggle's legal team argued that the case was about sex, not gender identity, and refusing access to the app was lawful as its founder perceives the plaintiff to be male. 本案被称为“Tickle vs Gigle”,为确定谁可以声称是女性的法律定义开创了先例,并标志着联邦法院首次审理了指称澳大利亚存在性别认同歧视的案件。 The case, known as "Tickle vs Giggle," set a precedent for determining legal definitions of who can claim to be a woman, and marked the first time the Federal Court had heard a case alleging gender identity discrimination in Australia.
