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

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

Inevitably, tribunals have actually followed a variety of these cases. During these, we've heard terrible information of females treated abominably by employers in thrall to advocates who prompted and enforced the illegal adoption of self-ID policies when it pertained to single-sex areas.

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

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

But even a rock strong case does not make it simple to strike back. Good legal representatives are pricey and the process is draining pipes, both physically and emotionally.

For every single female who has triumphed in court, there are lots of more for whom launching a legal case seemed impossible.

The establishment by the author and philanthropist JK Rowling of a fund to support women's legal security of their rights right away removes any monetary barriers to action for those with viable cases.

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

The intervention of Ms Rowling should, today, be concentrating minds in human resources departments throughout the nation.

Since the Supreme Court ruled, last month, that sex, in law, referred biology rather than paperwork, a variety of organisations - in both the general public and economic sectors - have issued declarations announcing their decisions to "consider" the implications for their policies.

This extensive and negligent complacency stands to cost companies - and taxpayer-funded bodies - dear. The facts are easy. If a service is used 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 companies to satisfy their obligations under it.

A variety of previous legal actions after ladies were unjustly dismissed or bullied out of jobs for refusing to concur with the mantra "trans females are ladies" were possible thanks to the assistance of online crowd-funding campaigns. Ms Rowling often promoted - and donated to - such fundraising events.

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

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

At the heart of industrial tribunals there may be vulnerable people playing for high stakes however the human expense suggests absolutely nothing to the insurers underwriting employers' expenses. For them, it's all about the bottom line and the prospect that every lady with a case now has access to the very best attorneys in business will, I presume, motivate many to advise settlement rather than the humiliation, and inevitable cost, of more doomed defences.

If one required evidence that females's rights are in need of the fiercest protection, it was available in the response to the launch of Ms Rowling's fund.

With tasty pathos, one activist legal representative 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 destiny movement".

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

Other reactions were, naturally, more violent in tone.

The ongoing tribunal including nurse Sandie Peggie, declaring discrimination and harassment against NHS Fife and trans-identifying doctor Beth Upton, brought the concern of the method so called "gender vital" females had been dealt with at work to wide attention. This is a case that "cut through" with the general public and forced some politicians to address a concern they chose to prevent.

leader Anas Sarwar and his deputy, Jackie Baillie, announced their assistance for Ms Peggie and stated their belief in the importance of biological sex.

If they 'd understood what they know now, they included, they would not have actually voted in favour of the SNP's ultimately doomed strategy to allow anyone to self-identify into the legally-recognised sex of their choosing.

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

Naturally, the Scottish Greens - a fantastic Wodehousian satire of an advanced cell - remain committed to making use of single-sex areas by anyone who feels they belong to that sex.

There have been current declarations of resistance from trade unions, too. Unison has 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 regional authorities and health boards - is another pricey legal action in the making.

It ought to not have actually been essential for JK Rowling to ensure to finance the legal costs of women victimized for their views on sex and gender. Nobody ought to ever have actually lost a job, a promo, or a contract on the basis of their view that sex is immutable and essential.

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

Ms Rowling's choices to fund Beira's Place and to underwrite the legal expenses of females victimized 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 author's mind but isn't it downright odd that, when he broaches the achievements of successful Scots, First Minister John Swinney never discusses the assistance Beira's Place has offered to hundreds of ladies?

Money is not the only thing women acting to defend their rights need. Ask anybody who has been through the tribunal procedure and they'll tell you that the psychological support of buddies and allies is vital.

This comfort will not remain in short supply for those ladies who receive support for their cases from the JK Rowling Women's Fund. The writer belongs to an international network of campaigners, combating to protect females's rights against the needs of trans activists, and calls to action and assistance do not go unheeded.

Let the nation's personnels departments brace themselves. A most amazing plot twist has just been written.
