A federal court upheld a landmark decision finding that the women-only social media app Giggle for Girls and its founder unlawfully discriminated against transgender woman Roxanne Tickle based on gender identity. The court affirmed the August 2024 finding and sided with Tickle's cross-appeal, identifying two instances of direct discrimination, while doubling damages to $20,000.
