Said she was a man
Everything that’s yours is belong to us.
An Australian transgender woman who says she was barred from using the female-only platform Giggle for Girls has sued the social media site for alleged discrimination.
Female people must not be allowed to have anything that’s only for them. Not one thing.
In a federal court lawsuit filed on 22 December, Roxanne Tickle claims she was unlawfully barred from using Giggle in September 2021 after the firm and its CEO, Sally “Sall” Grover, said she was a man.
The activist is seeking damages, a written apology and complete access to the platform.
Oh is that all.
After initially suing Giggle and Grover in the federal circuit and family court in July this year, Tickle dropped the case, afraid of the legal costs after hearing the firm’s CEO would take the matter all the way to the high court if she had to.
Maybe he can find some other way to silence women.
We can hope that the court sees him as a vexatious litigant and holds him in contempt.
Tickle v Giggle should be laughed out of court.
OK, on my way out …
Oh great, I have to clean off my computer screen again.
Good one.
“Roxy Tickle” is obviously a porn name. So absurd.
(Not my observation. I think Meghan Murphy said that. Or maybe Sall Grover, in an interview with Meghan Murphy.)
Wait. Did he file suit and drop it? Why is that news?
Did he file, dismiss, and decide to refile? What changed his mind (both times)?
Is a “federal court lawsuit” (Dec 22) the same as, or different from “the federal circuit and family court” (initially)? Are they two different courts, or levels of courts? What’s family court got to do with it?
This is confusing.
Re ‘ “Roxy Tickle” is obviously a porn name.’:
I saw an article recently that spoke about drag as having origins in minstrel shows and other shows heavy on mockery. Among other points made were that drag performers very often have stage names that are sexual puns. I cannot find the article; I wish I had saved it. Anyone here know the article?
Sackbut… I remember reading a similar thing… I think it was likely discussed in a post here ;-) I can’t seem to find it, although admittedly I didn’t go hunting too far because I did find this essay that hits the main points (although I don’t think it explicitly addresses the sexual-puns-for-names thing): https://scholarship.kentlaw.iit.edu/cgi/viewcontent.cgi?article=3209&context=cklawreview
