For many years, now, women have been losing jobs after daring to reveal the view that biology is real and essential.

Companies and public bodies, captured by the needs of extremist trans activists, have exacted vicious penalties on those revealing completely mainstream - and legal - views on sex and gender.

Inevitably, tribunals have followed a variety of these cases. During these, we have actually heard horrifying details of ladies dealt with abominably by companies in thrall to advocates who urged and enforced the unlawful adoption of self-ID policies when it concerned single-sex spaces.

We've heard of women bullied and avoided for questioning the right of those born male to self-identify into females's spaces, from altering rooms to domestic violence refuges.

Equally undoubtedly, those ladies capable of resisting have been winning legal actions.

But even a rock strong case does not make it easy to retaliate. Good attorneys are expensive and the procedure is draining pipes, both physically and mentally.

For each woman who has actually thrived in court, there are a lot more for whom launching a legal case seemed impossible.

The facility by the novelist and benefactor JK Rowling of a fund to support women's legal protection of their rights instantly gets rid of any monetary barriers to action for those with feasible cases.

Author JK Rowling has actually established a fund to support ladies's legal protection of their rights

The intervention of Ms Rowling should, today, be focusing minds in personnels departments across the nation.

Since the Supreme Court ruled, last month, that sex, in law, was a matter of biology rather than documentation, a number of organisations - in both the public and economic sectors - have actually provided statements revealing their decisions to "consider" the ramifications for their policies.

This extensive and reckless complacency stands to cost business - and taxpayer-funded bodies - dear. The facts are basic. If a service is provided on a single sex basis that means biological sex, not individuality.

The law is the law and no more factor to consider is required in order for employers to meet their commitments under it.

A variety of past legal actions after ladies were unjustly dismissed or bullied out of tasks for declining to agree with the mantra "trans ladies are females" were possible thanks to the assistance of online crowd-funding campaigns. Ms Rowling frequently promoted - and contributed to - such fundraising events.

Now, she's a one-woman crowd-funder, all set to back the cases of every female wronged at work for speaking the truth about sex.

The JK Rowling Women's Fund will transform the battlefield when it pertains to women discriminated versus for their genuine, reality-based views.

At the heart of industrial tribunals there might be susceptible individuals betting high stakes however the human cost suggests absolutely nothing to the insurance providers underwriting employers' expenses. For them, it's all about the bottom line and the possibility that every lady with a case now has access to the best legal representatives in the service will, I think, motivate many to advise settlement instead of the embarrassment, and unavoidable cost, of more doomed defences.

If one required evidence that females's rights are in requirement of the fiercest security, it can be found in the reaction to the launch of Ms Rowling's fund.

With tasty pathos, one activist legal representative stated online that the Harry Potter developer had "emerged from the shadows" as the funder of what he referred to as the "anti feminist biology is destiny movement".

Ms Rowling has never been in the shadows when it pertains to her views on ladies's rights, has she?

Other responses were, naturally, more violent in tone.

The ongoing tribunal including nurse Sandie Peggie, declaring discrimination and harassment against NHS Fife and trans-identifying medical professional Beth Upton, brought the issue of the method so called "gender critical" females had actually been dealt with at work to wide attention. This is a case that "cut through" with the public and required some politicians to resolve an issue they preferred to avoid.

Scottish Labour's leader Anas Sarwar and his deputy, Jackie Baillie, revealed their assistance for Ms Peggie and stated their belief in the significance of biological sex.

If they 'd known what they know now, they included, they would not have actually enacted favour of the SNP's plan to permit anyone to self-identify into the legally-recognised sex of their picking.

But while the Peggie case and the subsequent judgment on the legal meaning of sex by the Supreme Court may have forced a humiliating U-turn by the Labour management on the matter of biological truth, others stay stubbornly dedicated to defiance of the law.

Naturally, the Scottish Greens - a great Wodehousian satire of a revolutionary cell - remain committed to using single-sex spaces by anyone who feels they come from that sex.

There have actually been current declarations of resistance from trade unions, too. Unison has actually permitted a trans lady to run for a women-only position on its nationwide executive council.

But every act of performative defiance by well-funded trade unions - or taxpayer-funded local authorities and health boards - is another costly legal action in the making.

It ought to not have been essential for JK Rowling to guarantee to underwrite the legal expenses of females discriminated versus for their views on sex and gender. Nobody needs to ever have actually lost a job, a promo, or an agreement on the basis of their view that sex is immutable and crucial.

Nor needs to the novelist have felt it necessary to develop, in 2022, Beira's Place, a women-only assistance service for victims of sexual violence in the Lothian location.

Ms Rowling's decisions to fund Beira's Place and to finance the legal costs of females discriminated against for thinking in the truth of sex are acts of feminist philanthropy which, in a world not made batty by gender ideology, would have been hailed by our politicians.

I know that recognition is the last thing on the writer's mind but isn't it downright odd that, when he broaches the accomplishments of effective Scots, First Minister John Swinney never ever points out the assistance Beira's Place has offered to numerous ladies?

Money is not the only thing females taking action to defend their rights require. Ask anybody who has been through the tribunal process and they'll inform you that the emotional assistance of friends and allies is necessary.

This comfort will not be in brief supply for those ladies who get support for their cases from the JK Rowling Women's Fund. The author belongs to a worldwide network of advocates, battling to protect females's rights versus the needs of trans activists, and contacts us to action and support do not go unheeded.

Let the country's personnels departments brace themselves. A most exceptional plot twist has actually just been composed.
