For several years, now, ladies have actually been losing jobs after bold to express the view that biology is genuine and important.

Companies and public bodies, caught by the demands of extremist trans activists, have actually exacted vicious penalties on those expressing completely mainstream - and legal - views on sex and gender.

Inevitably, tribunals have actually followed a variety of these cases. During these, we've heard horrifying details of women treated abominably by employers in thrall to advocates who prompted and imposed the prohibited adoption of self-ID policies when it pertained to single-sex spaces.

We have actually become aware of females bullied and shunned for questioning the right of those born male to self-identify into females's spaces, from changing rooms to domestic violence refuges.

Equally undoubtedly, those women efficient in resisting have actually been winning legal actions.

But even a rock strong case does not make it easy to retaliate. Good lawyers are expensive and the process is draining, both physically and emotionally.

For each lady who has thrived in court, there are lots of more for whom releasing a legal case seemed difficult.

The facility by the author and benefactor JK Rowling of a fund to support ladies's legal defense of their rights instantly removes any financial barriers to action for those with viable cases.

Author JK Rowling has developed a fund to support females's legal security of their rights

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

Since the Supreme Court ruled, last month, that sex, in law, was a matter of biology instead of paperwork, a variety of organisations - in both the general public and economic sectors - have released declarations revealing their choices to "consider" the implications for their policies.

This prevalent and reckless complacency stands to cost companies - and taxpayer-funded bodies - dear. The realities are easy. If a service is used on a single sex basis that suggests biological sex, not individuality.

The law is the law and no additional factor to consider is required in order for employers to fulfill their obligations under it.

A variety of previous legal actions after females were unfairly dismissed or bullied out of jobs for to concur with the mantra "trans women are females" were possible thanks to the support of online crowd-funding campaigns. Ms Rowling frequently promoted - and contributed to - such charity events.

Now, she's a one-woman crowd-funder, ready to back the cases of every lady mistreated at work for speaking the reality about sex.

The JK Rowling Women's Fund will change the battleground when it comes to women victimized for their legitimate, reality-based views.

At the heart of industrial tribunals there might be susceptible individuals playing for high stakes but the human expense means nothing to the insurers underwriting employers' expenses. For them, it's all about the bottom line and the prospect that every female with a case now has access to the very best lawyers in business will, I believe, encourage numerous to prompt settlement rather than the humiliation, and unavoidable expense, of more doomed defences.

If one needed proof that females's rights need the fiercest security, it came 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 explained as the "anti feminist biology is destiny movement".

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

Other responses were, naturally, more violent in tone.

The ongoing tribunal including nurse Sandie Peggie, claiming discrimination and harassment versus NHS Fife and trans-identifying doctor Beth Upton, brought the problem of the way so called "gender important" females had actually been dealt with at work to wide attention. This is a case that "cut through" with the general public and forced some political leaders to deal with a problem they chose 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 importance of biological sex.

If they 'd understood what they know now, they added, they would not have enacted favour of the SNP's eventually doomed plan to enable anybody to self-identify into the legally-recognised sex of their picking.

But while the Peggie case and the subsequent ruling on the legal meaning of sex by the Supreme Court might have required a humiliating U-turn by the Labour management on the matter of biological reality, others remain stubbornly dedicated to defiance of the law.

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

There have been recent statements of resistance from trade unions, too. Unison has actually permitted a trans female to run for a women-only position on its national executive council.

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

It ought to not have actually been necessary for JK Rowling to guarantee to finance the legal expenses of females victimized for their views on sex and gender. Nobody ought to ever have lost a job, a promo, or an agreement on the basis of their view that sex is immutable and important.

Nor should the author 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 underwrite the legal expenses of women discriminated against for believing in the reality of sex are acts of feminist philanthropy which, in a world not made batty by gender ideology, would have been hailed by our political leaders.

I know that recognition is the last thing on the writer's mind however isn't it downright strange that, when he talks of the achievements of successful Scots, First Minister John Swinney never discusses the assistance Beira's Place has offered to hundreds of women?

Money is not the only thing women doing something about it to protect their rights require. Ask anybody who has been through the tribunal procedure and they'll inform you that the emotional assistance of friends and allies is vital.

This convenience will not be in brief supply for those females who get support for their cases from the JK Rowling Women's Fund. The author is part of a worldwide network of campaigners, fighting to secure ladies's rights versus the needs of trans activists, and contacts us to action and assistance do not go unheeded.

Let the nation's human resources departments brace themselves. A most impressive plot twist has just been composed.
