On 15 May 2026, Australian entrepreneur Sall Grover and her company Giggle were found liable for direct discrimination after excluding a trans-identifying male from her female-only app.
The Full Federal Court’s decision in Giggle v Tickle has confirmed that a woman can be punished for recognising a man as male and for seeking to maintain a female-only space.
This is unjust, unsafe and untenable.
The S*x Discrimination Act 1984 (SDA) was originally designed to protect women and girls from discrimination on the basis of biological s*x. But the 2013 amendments removed the biological definitions of “man” and “woman” and added protections for “gender identity” in a way that conflicts with protections for women and girls based on biological s*x.
The result is that women and girls have no secure legal right to single-s*x spaces, services, sports or associations without the threat of litigation. Men who identify as women, are being afforded more rights and protections than actual women.
That must change.
Women and girls deserve laws that recognise biological reality and protect their safety, dignity, privacy and fairness.
This is not a left or right issue. It is a matter of truth, justice and basic safeguarding.
Parliament could fix this today if there is the political will.
We are calling on every member of the Federal Parliament to work together with cross-party urgency to amend the S*x Discrimination Act and restore clear protections for women and girls on the basis of biological s*x.
Sign the petition to tell Federal Parliament: fix the SDA NOW.
Sign Women's Forum Australia's petition calling on Federal Parliament to urgently amend the S*x Discrimination Act and restore the s*x-based rights of women and girls.
