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

Companies and public bodies, captured by the demands of extremist trans activists, have exacted terrible 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 have actually heard horrifying details of females treated abominably by employers in thrall to advocates who urged and imposed the prohibited adoption of self-ID policies when it came to single-sex spaces.

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

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

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

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

The facility by the author and benefactor JK Rowling of a fund to support females's legal defense of their rights immediately removes any financial 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 human resources departments across the nation.

Since the Supreme Court ruled, last month, that sex, in law, was a matter of biology rather than paperwork, a of organisations - in both the public and personal sectors - have actually released declarations announcing their decisions to "think about" the ramifications for their policies.

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

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

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

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

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

At the heart of industrial tribunals there may be susceptible people playing for high stakes but the human cost suggests absolutely nothing to the insurance providers financing employers' costs. For them, it's all about the bottom line and the possibility that every female with a case now has access to the very best lawyers in the organization will, I believe, encourage lots of to advise settlement instead of the humiliation, and inevitable expense, of more doomed defences.

If one needed proof that ladies's rights need the fiercest protection, it came in the response to the launch of Ms Rowling's fund.

With delicious pathos, one activist attorney declared online that the Harry Potter creator had "emerged from the shadows" as the funder of what he referred to as the "anti feminist biology is fate motion".

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

Other actions were, predictably, 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 way so called "gender vital" ladies had been treated at work to large attention. This is a case that "cut through" with the public and forced some politicians to address an issue they chose to avoid.

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

If they 'd known what they understand now, they included, they would not have 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 ruling on the legal significance of sex by the Supreme Court might have forced an embarrassing U-turn by the Labour management on the matter of biological truth, others remain stubbornly committed to defiance of the law.

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

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

It should not have been needed for JK Rowling to ensure to finance the legal expenses of women victimized for their views on sex and gender. Nobody must ever have lost a job, a promotion, or a contract on the basis of their view that sex is immutable and crucial.

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

Ms Rowling's choices to money Beira's Place and to finance the legal costs of women discriminated against for believing 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 political leaders.

I know that recognition is the last thing on the writer's mind however isn't it downright strange that, when he broaches the achievements of successful Scots, First Minister John Swinney never ever points out the support Beira's Place has provided to hundreds of women?

Money is not the only thing ladies doing something about it to defend their rights require. Ask anybody who has actually been through the tribunal procedure and they'll tell you that the psychological support of friends and allies is vital.

This convenience will not be in brief supply for those women who receive backing for their cases from the JK Rowling Women's Fund. The writer belongs to a worldwide network of campaigners, combating to protect females's rights versus the demands of trans activists, and contacts us to action and support do not go unheeded.

Let the nation's human resources departments brace themselves. A most impressive plot twist has actually simply been written.
