“The app provider appears not to recognise transgender women as female. I am legally permitted to identify as female.”
...but just because you're legally permitted to deceive yourself, doesn't mean everyone else has to play along.
An open letter on Grover’s Twitter page says she created Giggle after suffering abuse and being told she needed a “strong female support network”. She claimed she originally allowed transgender women on to the platform but changed this policy after receiving death threats through “Kill TERF” groups on the app.
If they got what they wanted, why would they threaten? Because you can never, ever satisfy fanatics. That's why.
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.
Saying she now had “limited funding” to pursue the lawsuit, she is asking the federal court for approval to launch her case out of time.
Who's bankrolling this, then?
