A judge of the Federal Court of Australia is currently deliberating on Australia’s “what is a woman?” case: Tickle v Giggle. This is a pivotal moment for women’s rights in Australia as it will determine whether gender identity trumps biological sex under Australian sex discrimination law.

Imagine having to raise half a million dollars to defend against a human rights discrimination claim simply for knowing men can’t be women?

This week women’s sex-based rights are going on trial in the Federal Court of Australia with the landmark case Tickle v Giggle.

This Friday 28 April at 10.15am, the Australian Federal Court (184 Philip Street, Sydney) will hear further proceedings in Tickle v Giggle, a monumental case for women’s sex-based rights and protections in Australia.

In a win for women and biological reality, the federal government has agreed to replace a government health form that calls mothers “birthing parents” after new mum and Giggle social media app founder Sall Grover decried the language as “exclusionary, alienating and derogatory” towards women.
