For years, now, females have actually been losing jobs after bold to express the view that biology is real and essential.

Companies and public bodies, recorded by the needs of extremist trans activists, have exacted cruel punishments on those revealing perfectly mainstream - and legal - views on sex and gender.

Inevitably, tribunals have followed a variety of these cases. During these, we have actually heard horrifying information of women treated abominably by companies in thrall to campaigners who prompted and imposed the illegal adoption of self-ID policies when it concerned single-sex spaces.

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

Equally undoubtedly, those females capable of battling back have actually been winning legal actions.

But even a rock solid case does not make it easy to retaliate. Good legal representatives are pricey and the procedure is draining, both physically and emotionally.

For every single female who has thrived in court, there are much more for whom launching a legal case appeared difficult.

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

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

The intervention of Ms Rowling should, right now, be concentrating 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 provided statements announcing their decisions to "think about" the ramifications for their policies.

This extensive and negligent complacency stands to cost business - and taxpayer-funded bodies - dear. The realities are basic. If a service is offered on a single sex basis that indicates biological sex, not personal identity.

The law is the law and no more consideration is required in order for employers to satisfy their responsibilities under it.

A variety of past legal actions after women were unjustly dismissed or bullied out of tasks for refusing to concur with the mantra "trans ladies are ladies" were possible thanks to the assistance of online crowd-funding projects. Ms Rowling regularly promoted - and contributed to - such charity events.

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

The JK Rowling Women's Fund will change the battleground when it pertains to ladies victimized for their genuine, reality-based views.

At the heart of industrial tribunals there might be vulnerable people betting high stakes however the human expense suggests absolutely nothing to the insurers underwriting employers' costs. For them, it's all about the bottom line and the possibility that every lady with a case now has access to the very best attorneys in the business will, I presume, motivate lots of to advise settlement instead of the humiliation, and unavoidable cost, of more doomed defences.

If one required proof that females's rights are in requirement of the fiercest protection, it came in the reaction to the launch of Ms Rowling's fund.

With scrumptious pathos, one activist lawyer declared online that the Harry Potter developer had "emerged from the shadows" as the funder of what he described as the "anti feminist biology is fate motion".

Ms Rowling has never ever been in the shadows when it concerns her views on women's rights, has she?

Other reactions were, naturally, more violent in tone.

The continuous tribunal involving 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 critical" women had actually been treated at work to large attention. This is a case that "cut through" with the general public and forced some political leaders to deal with a concern they chose to prevent.

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

If they 'd understood what they understand now, they included, they would not have actually enacted favour of the SNP's ultimately doomed plan to enable anyone to self-identify into the legally-recognised sex of their picking.

But while the Peggie case and the subsequent judgment on the legal significance of sex by the Supreme Court might have required 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 terrific Wodehousian satire of an advanced cell - remain committed to using single-sex spaces by anybody who feels they belong to that sex.

There have actually been recent statements of resistance from trade unions, too. Unison has allowed 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 pricey legal action in the making.

It must not have been required for JK Rowling to guarantee to underwrite the legal expenses of ladies victimized for their views on sex and gender. Nobody must ever have lost a job, a promo, or a contract on the basis of their view that sex is immutable and important.

Nor ought to the author have actually felt it needed to establish, in 2022, Beira's Place, a women-only support service for victims of sexual violence in the Lothian location.

Ms Rowling's decisions to money Beira's Place and to finance the legal expenses 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 acknowledgment is the last thing on the writer's mind however isn't it downright odd that, when he talks of the accomplishments of successful Scots, First Minister John Swinney never mentions the support Beira's Place has given to hundreds of ladies?

Money is not the only thing ladies doing something about it to protect their rights need. Ask anyone who has been through the tribunal procedure and they'll inform you that the emotional support of pals and allies is important.

This comfort will not be in brief supply for those females who get backing for their cases from the JK Rowling Women's Fund. The author becomes part of a worldwide network of campaigners, fighting to protect women's rights against the needs of trans activists, and calls to action and support do not go unheeded.

Let the nation's personnels departments brace themselves. A most remarkable plot twist has simply been composed.
