So I don't know if anyone has been keeping up on this case, but I tried looking for posts on it and I've only found transphobic rants and comments. So just... spreading awareness.
There is an ongoing case in Australia currently (the hearing has concluded but the ruling has not been announced) where Roxy Tickle, a trans woman, is suing the Giggle for Girls app and its founder for $100,000, plus another $100,000. Giggle for Girls is a platform exclusively for women, and Roxy was banned from the app after joining.
The app already has a lot of problematic features on it. For example, any new user is required to submit a selfie-- a photo which is then analyzed by ai to determine whether or not the user is a woman. For Roxy, the ai wasn't the issue, however-- in fact, she used the app for several months with no problem. Instead, the owner of the app manually and purposefully overrode the ai, revoking Roxy's access to the app, because she saw her profile. She then refused to reinstate her account and blocked her.
The founder of the app, Sall Grover, has knowingly and persistently misgendered Roxy dozens of times in interviews, articles and posts. I have a chrome extension that shows if a website is queerphobic or not, and when I look up Roxy's name there are only two results not in red.
As well as this, the additional $100,000 dollars Roxy is suing for? That's because of an online campaign waged against her by Grover, who has a large platform on Twitter. Katherine Deves, who had been representing Giggle in court tried to get the case thrown out. And Grover quite literally called in evolutionary biologist Colin Wright to advocate for her case. He's giving evidence for the trial.
There is a fundraiser to "reclaim sex based rights and protections for all women and girls" created specifically for this case. It has raised over $500,000, and that number is still growing.
Anyways. I don't know if I was just the last one to know about this, but the fact that I even found out about this case was because of a post a terf made scares me.
If anyone else has any more information, please add onto this post! And if I missed anything, or said anything wrong, please correct me.
Thank you for taking this time out of your day.

Watching Doc’s latest video and Joe’s fantastic job at being a lawyer, I was inspired to write a Haiku about the situation. I commented this on Doc’s video but would also like to share it here.
Doc’s a big baby.
That is my defence for him.
That’s all your highness.

I was a jury member for Elizabeth Holmes' fraud case. She was pronounced innocent.
She was later found guilty of triple homicide though.

Dr. Colin Ross is a DSM contributor. He's not just some random doctor. He is PART of that academic consensus you're talking about.
I couldn't find anything about him contributing to the DSM but what I did find was a lot of information from a malpractice suit brought against him for abusing his patients at an inpatient facility.
Here's Elizabeth Hart's affidavit describing being over medicated, wherein Dr Ross would dismiss her complaints by calling them switches and naming different alters responsible for her reactions.
While still hospitalized in the ward, Dr. Ross admitted a male patient in what was, up until that point, a female only ward. The patient had videos on file of him sexually assaulting multiple women. There's no surprise then that the patient assaulted Ms. Hart and when she sought help from Dr. Ross he said, "I didn't think he would do that on the ward."
When she reported him to the local paper for negligence resulting in her sexual assault while in his care, he "became furious" and "told me I had to get out." He then proceeded with the patient discharge of Ms. Hart despite knowing he would be forcing her out to face extreme withdrawals from the medication he put her on.
He left that hospital some time later, abandoning her with no recommendation or way to set up a continuation of treatment, she was left to face the addiction he created alone. When she finally was able to speak to him again, he suggested more medication.
The next year, he would deny to her face that he ever gave her medication in the first place.
This is a very brief summary of only the first parts of one patients affidavit, of which there are two that I saw when looking at the case. Both victims of his malpractice continue to explain the things he put them through and I recommend reading through them.
But sure, if he says what endos wanna hear then his word is gospel, I guess.

The divorce vlog was the greatest piece of art I have ever seen. It had everything! the humor, the drama the love square. It feels wrong that this whole saga is over but it's great they are still friends:)

Off topic but have you ever looked at a picture and just known that there was something wrong with the person in it? I feel that every time I see a picture of Casey Anthony. Even before I knew what she had done (warning for anyone wanting to look it up, it's awful), just seeing a photo of her makes my skin crawl. Literally reaffirmed by belief in human souls from seeing someone without one.

I had a dream the other night that I had to go to court for my disability because I had to prove that I needed it, but in the dream nothing that happened at court made sense and I remembered being so scared that they wouldn’t see how much I needed help.
I remember at one point someone, maybe me? Or someone’s else, or both? Were on the beach and were bleeding because of being wounded by drift wood. Yeah, idk but apparently being wounded by drift wood meant i wasn’t eligible for disability, so then I was both pissed and trying to explain how my seizures really did affect my everyday life and incredibly sad because they denied me and I didn’t know how I was going to be okay with out financial help
Yeah, sometimes dreams bring some real feelings to the surface.
I haven’t heard anything yet from the people about my disability application in real life and waiting is very hard.

Why is the case back in court?
You could be forgiven for thinking the December ruling meant case closed - but as is often the way with legal proceedings, a resolution isn’t so straightforward.
The court will today look at some unresolved matters: legal costs and additional articles in Prince Harry’s claim.
Let’s firstly look at costs: at a hearing last month, lawyers argued over who should pay the legal bills racked up during the case.
Lawyers for Prince Harry and the three other claimants (whose names were in our earlier post) want MGN to pay a legal bill of nearly £2m. MGN are fighting that and have argued three of the claimants should pay some of its own legal fees.
Secondly, the ruling handed down in December looked at 33 articles. However, there are a further 115 stories that haven’t been assessed by a court. Prince Harry’s lawyers have said they want those to be tested at a trial as well. MGN have offered an undisclosed sum to settle the proceedings.

Ya know, if they ever want to crush me, they will...
This is what allowing a corporation to distribute your shit gets you. Sony crushes a local makeup brand with impunity, and they don't even have to win the case. The legal fees are too expensive. It doesn't matter how you navigate Kafkaesque situations like being asked to prove your makeup does not resemble a cow because the song lyrics in the background mention a cow, and if you're basing your cow makeup off these lyrics that we own, you owe us $18 million. You can't even afford to argue. There goes all your work.
Are the artists who made the music going to get any of that money? No. They got paid when they sold the rights. Maybe a small slice in royalties, but not so much that they don't have to keep cranking out new music and giving it to their contract holders to remain active in creative spaces.
"There are lines" says the legal expert. Yeah. Well. I'm pretty sure the only line you need to cross is: a corporation notices you and decides to incite a hostage situation. If Sony wins this case, it gets even easier for the big guys to take it out of the little guys. And if they don't... It's not like they're going to stop suing people and gatekeeping the use of art.
If humanity remains a going concern long enough for us to come to our senses, there's just going to be this huge hole in our media right around the 20th century. If Sony or Disney or Warner Brothers or Fox or some other huge corporate conglomerate doesn't make it into the fossil record, or just decides to delete everything it owns for tax purposes, future historians are going to be trying to reconstruct a significant portion of lost culture off whatever's left of Internet Archive and AO3. And that's only if the corporations don't obliterate that stuff too.
I guess there are non-zero folks out there who are just doing commission-style work to get paid so they can eat, maybe they don't care what happens to it. But if your art means something to you, or if someone else's art means something to you, you should be upset about this.
You like Nosferatu? The movie? Well, like it or hate it, we weren't supposed to have it. They filed off the serial numbers but it didn't matter - they stepped on Stoker's copyright, they got sued, they lost, and they were supposed to destroy all the copies of that film. A film that's widely considered one of the best movies ever, codifier of many of the vampire tropes you know and love - which you could also call plagiarism, if you had enough money and were so inclined. Yeah, it's in the Public Domain now, but it doesn't have to stay that way (see: Peter and the Wolf). Copyright law destroys art. Period. Artists need to eat, but this is not the way to make that happen!
The makeup company is already dead. If the court case goes against them, it's precedent to kill so much more, just because someone sang a tune, or said words in a certain order, or played notes in a certain way. And, yeah, my work could evaporate on that basis. I reference real music. I don't have to, but it fits the themes and I do not agree with these laws and how they are applied. I'm contrary. I'm protesting. But if I ever get popular enough to make a difference... I could be toast.
