Sall Grover Confirms She’s Leaving Australia, Won’t Live by Lies
Stephen MacAlpine has correctly stated that the Australian government wants Sall Grover to “live by lies.”
The Australian cultural commentator is condemning the High Court’s refusal to hear Grover’s appeal in the free-speech-defining fight Giggle v. Tickle.
Her appeal, which could have corrected the LGBTQ+ lawfare blurring gender in Australia’s Sex Discrimination Act, was rejected last Thursday.
The High Court said in a brief response that there is no reason to doubt the Full Court’s decision.
Referring to section 7D of the Act, they added:
“Any appeal dependent on the demonstration of error in the Full Court’s construction of those provisions has insufficient prospects of success to warrant a grant of special leave to appeal.”
‘Not the Court’s Fault’
MacAlpine, who works for the Australian Christian Lobby’s (ACL) Download platform, expanded his critique, saying on Instagram, “women will be the poorer for it.”
ACL CEO Michelle Pearse has described the High Court outcome as “the final sad chapter of a story that’s run for almost five years.”
In case you missed it, the Federal Court ruled against Sall Grover in May, finding her guilty of discriminating against a biological man who identifies as a woman.
This was after Grover refused to allow him onto Giggle, Grover’s women-only app.
Clearly disappointed in the High Court decision, Pearse wrote, “Let me be plain about what this means, because the legal language can obscure the plain reality.
“Under the law as it stands today, a woman can be found guilty of unlawful discrimination for maintaining a space exclusively for women.”
In other words, “a law written in 1984 to protect women and girls is now being used against them.”
Pearse put the problem back on the government.
The judiciary is not at fault, she said.
Former Labor Prime Minister Julia Gillard opened the door for the weaponisation of the Sex Discrimination Act in 2013.
The change “removed the long-settled clear definitions of ‘man’ and ‘woman’ and inserted ‘gender identity’ as a protected attribute.”
That happened, Pearse said, “without properly safeguarding the single-sex spaces that generations of women have relied upon.”
This is, she added, “precisely why yesterday’s decision matters so much.
“Every judicial avenue is now exhausted.
“There is no higher court, no further appeal, no other case waiting in the wings.
“The courts have interpreted the law. Only the lawmakers can change the Act.”
Doing so, Pearse argued, “would restore it completely to its original purpose: to protect real women from discrimination.
“Gender identity is legal fiction and should have never been legislated.”
This isn’t advocating against the dignity of others, she concluded. It’s about asserting truth and affirming certainty.
Likewise, Binary’s Kirralie Smith said the High Court’s refusal was a “devastating blow.”
“There are a great many comments online about the legality of such a decision and conflict as to what should or could be done.
“The reality is,” Smith said, “only politicians can fix this mess now.
“The court’s decision is frightening. It should put every single person on notice that our government has gone too far, has too much power and is entertaining punishing truth for the sake of ideology.”
Echoing some of MacAlpine and Pearse’s sentiment, Smith warned, “Anyone who thinks it will stop with the enforcement of gender ideology is sadly mistaken.
“If the courts and government can lie about something as fundamental as the reality of human bodies, if they can punish people for non-compliance, do you really think they will stop there?”
Grover Decides to Leave Australia
Sall Grover’s response to the 10 September decision was as prolific as it was defiant.
On the day, Grover put the ruling on X with the simple caption: “I will never stop fighting. Men are not women.”
The next day she quipped, “A man won the ‘what is a woman’ case.”
Interviewed by the UK’s Talk TV, Grover said this isn’t a culture war. It’s a legal and political war.
She was pushing back on Anthony Albanese’s asinine “it’s the culture wars” dismissals he gave the ABC.
Albanese made the remarks in May on the ABC’s Afternoon Briefing.
Grover told the UK channel, “he can’t change the law.
“The reason is that all of Australia’s institutions are captured. If he were to actually come out on our side on this, they will turn against him.”
Albanese is, “I think, highly aware of that,” she explained.
“So, he’s absolutely beholden to trans activists at this point.”
The mum and Giggle founder then confirmed she was leaving Australia, saying, “The person who took me to court, took me to court essentially for no reason.”
Leaving Australia allows her to continue doing what she’s set out to do, Grover said.
“But I think about the women in Australia. It’s not like every woman in Australia who wants a women-only space can leave the country.”
“So, I’m going to fight [for] women in Australia until this law is changed.”
Grover Determined to Fight Bad Law
Stepping up that fight, News24 published a more detailed response from Grover on 12 September.
There, she stated that the law now says, in practice, a man is a woman.
“Without new legislation,” Grover said, “Australian discrimination law treats sex as changeable and ‘woman’ as a mixed-sex category any transitioned male can be included in.”
To this, she added, “Women as a sex class — adult human females — have been written out of the legislation that was supposed to protect us.”
This doesn’t stop with women, Grover noted.
“Every Australian should have the right to acknowledge reality and to refuse an ideology they do not adhere to.
“The law now punishes that refusal.”
This isn’t inclusion, she remarked.
It’s “compelled belief.”
“Courts have now resolved the conflict by letting identity overwrite sex.”
They’ve “chosen ideology over reality. But reality does not change. The law will have to.”
“Australia,” Grover pointed out, “could have led the way with the original Tickle v Giggle decision.” Instead, it’s “doubled down in the opposite direction.”
From here, she slammed the 2013 Labor adjustments to the law, saying, “the law is wrong.”
Refusing to live by lies, she declared, “I will not call a man a woman.
“I will not pretend a mixed-sex category is an accurate definition of woman.
“And I will not accept that the price of living in Australia is surrendering reality so an ideology can have the force of law.”
The High Court decision closed the judicial door. “It’s time to open the political one.
“Women are still women. Men are not women. Sex is not changeable. Laws are,” Grover exclaimed.
“Change the Act.”
Under the current Labor government, any hope of fixing the Labor law is a flat, blunt “no, don’t hold your breath.”
Albanese’s flailing, useless, and politically correct cabinet refuses to define a woman. Let alone answer questions about what a woman is.
As MacAlpine asserted, this is very much now a case of the government telling Australians they will “live by lies” and learn to “love is love” it — or else!

The Pollies created this mess and they need to fix it.
Feminists spent decades after WWII dismantling male only fraternal spaces such as the Y.M.C.A. and others that performed an important role in the lives of young men. I find it amusing that women are now complaining about biological men forcing themselves into women only spaces.
“Fraternal organisations and male exclusive spaces flourished in the United States from the mid 19th to the mid 20th centuries, catering to men who were seeking social interactions and a sense of purpose these organisations offered a variety of services, from community building to job placement assistance and fostered a sense of camaraderie and brotherhood among members. The Y.M.C.A. in particular was founded on Christian principles and emphasised the development of a healthy body, mind and spirit. These organisations were an essential part of the fabric of American society. However, with the rise of the feminist movement in the 1960’s and 1970’s there was a push to exert influence in men’s spaces by opening up these organisations to women. Feminists argued that the organisations male exclusivity was discriminatory and that women should be allowed the same opportunities for physical fitness, camaraderie and networking. The pressure resulting in many YMCA facilities going co-Ed by the late 1980’s. This change had detrimental consequences for men, particularly those who relied on these organisations for support. Young men were particularly affected.
The opening of these organisations to women had a net negative impact on men. Male exclusive spaces traditionally offered a forum for men to gather and discuss issues in safe spaces that were specific to their gender. With the removal of these spaces men lost a crucial avenue for support and camaraderie.”
“Men’s gender exclusive spaces such as fraternal organisations, mutual support organisations, sports clubs, camps and schools have experienced a gradual decline or complete dissolution since the 1940’s. The multi faceted question of who or what was responsible for this demise points largely to feminist activism, reactionism from religious fundamentalism and other social forces as contributors to their demise. So what exactly happened?
Mid 20th Century feminist activism was a significant driver of social change as women insisted on their presence in spaces designed and structured for men and their specific needs, their overarching aim was the dismantling of patriarchal structures that they believed were made possible by male exclusive spaces. Their arguments, activism and legal actions advocated the idea that gender differences were purely anatomical with no substantial psychological variations and that any recognition of gender differentiation was seen as a barrier to opportunity. Simultaneously, as the feminist movement was challenging societal norms in the 1950’s and 1960’s religious fundamentalism gained momentum.”

The last paragraph certainly resonates but needs to be fleshed out with specifics

What a tragic day for Australia. We now know for sure how tainted the high court is and how immoveable our Federal govt is….“Without new legislation,” Grover said, “Australian discrimination law treats sex as changeable and ‘woman’ as a mixed-sex category any transitioned male can be included in.”
May God have mercy on Australia as we pray on and stand up for the biblical values of God made male and female.
I am so sorry Sal is leaving but understand her reasons- its unbearable for her to live a lie. She has fought gallantly and will fight on but not from here. God bless you Sal and good on you for all you have done.
It is indeed an impossible situation for Sal, and we applaud her and continue to pray and support this fight.
But Freddie has a valid point. Feminism has gone too far. Both men and women are the victims of the rejection of God’s truth.
The church is responsible. We have been letting unrighteousness rulers govern us and as it says in the bible when the righteous rule the people rejoice, Prov 29:2
There is no nonsense so gross that society will not, at some time, make a doctrine of it and defend it with every weapon of communal stupidity. (Robertson Davies).
In my studies of communist societies, I came to the conclusion that the purpose of communist propaganda was not to persuade or convince, not to inform, but to humiliate; and therefore the less it corresponded to reality, the better. When people are forced to remain silent when they are told the most obvious lies or, even worse, forced to repeat those lies themselves, they lose once and for all their sense of probity. To assent to obvious lies is, in a small sense, to become evil oneself. One’s capacity to resist anything is thus eroded, and even destroyed. A society of emasculated liars is easy to control. I think if you examine political correctness, [aka ‘wokeness’] it has the same effect, and is intended to. (Anthony Daniels, 2005).
I wouldn’t be so unwilling to support Sall Grover if she wasn’t just another woman playing the victim, being entitled, and unable to accept accountability for the actions of her sex.
I agree with Freddie.
I couldn’t care less that female spaces are being infiltrated by biological men. Fraternal male spaces are not coming back. Women made them go away. Also as we live in a world where men are the subject of ridicule on television advertisements and situation comedies. Women / feminists don’t want equality they want supremacy.
Although, I do not support the trans agenda I do support ordinary men and fathers. I care not for women feeling vulnerable because biological men are in female spaces. Because they have brought this upon themselves!
Further to Freddie’s comment:
A closer look presents someone who’s been more of a myopic fool than a victim, quote:
“Sall Grover has been tremendously supportive of lesbian and bisexual women on her Giggle app over the years, and their need to have female-only spaces. Her new independent Giggle app will feature a dating platform for lesbian and bi women, which will be a secure way for women around the world to chat and meet, and even date.”
