Roxanne Tickle is suing the Giggle for Girls app and its founder, Sall Grover, to the tune of $100,000 for alleged discrimination based on her gender identity, a Federal Court hearing was told on Thursday.

The founder of a female-only app waged an "online campaign" against a transgender woman she had refused to allow as a user, a court has heard.

The court heard Grover has persistently misgendered Tickle in media interviews and across hundreds of posts she made about the case to her roughly 93,000 online followers. The Giggle app was created by Grover as "safe space" for women to interact with each other, free from male patterns of online violence, the court heard previously.
