The exclusion of a transgender woman from a female-only app constituted unlawful discrimination due to gender identity, according to a landmark Federal Court ruling.
Roxanne Tickle downloaded the Giggle for Girls social networking platform, which was designed to be an "online refuge" for women, in February 2021.
Ms Tickle's photo was accepted, but later that year her account was restricted after a manual override. Lawyers for the app's chief executive officer Sall Grover, who was named as a respondent, denied discriminatory conduct.
