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

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

Inevitably, tribunals have followed a number of these cases. During these, we've heard terrible information of females treated abominably by employers in thrall to advocates who prompted and implemented 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 altering spaces to domestic violence sanctuaries.

Equally inevitably, those females capable of resisting have actually been winning legal actions.

But even a rock solid case does not make it simple to strike back. Good attorneys are pricey and the process is draining, both physically and mentally.

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

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

Author JK Rowling has established a fund to support women's legal defense 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 instead of documents, a number of organisations - in both the public and personal sectors - have actually provided declarations revealing their decisions to "think about" the ramifications for their policies.

This extensive and reckless complacency stands to cost business - and - dear. The realities are easy. If a service is offered on a single sex basis that implies biological sex, not individuality.

The law is the law and no additional consideration is needed in order for companies to fulfill their responsibilities under it.

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

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

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

At the heart of commercial tribunals there may be vulnerable people playing for high stakes however the human expense indicates absolutely nothing to the insurance providers underwriting employers' costs. For them, it's everything about the bottom line and the possibility that every female with a case now has access to the best lawyers in the service will, I suspect, encourage lots of to advise settlement rather than the embarrassment, and inescapable cost, of more doomed defences.

If one needed evidence that ladies's rights need the fiercest defense, it was available in the action 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 destiny movement".

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

Other responses were, predictably, more violent in tone.

The ongoing tribunal involving nurse Sandie Peggie, claiming discrimination and harassment against NHS Fife and trans-identifying doctor Beth Upton, brought the problem of the method so called "gender vital" ladies had been treated at work to wide attention. This is a case that "cut through" with the general public and required some political leaders to resolve an issue they chose to avoid.

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

If they 'd known what they know now, they included, they would not have actually voted in favour of the SNP's eventually doomed strategy to permit anybody 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 might have forced an embarrassing U-turn by the Labour management on the matter of biological truth, others stay stubbornly devoted to defiance of the law.

Naturally, the Scottish Greens - a fantastic Wodehousian satire of an innovative cell - remain committed to the use of 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 allowed a trans woman 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 regional authorities and health boards - is another costly legal action in the making.

It should 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 important.

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

Ms Rowling's choices to money Beira's Place and to finance 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 politicians.

I know that acknowledgment is the last thing on the author's mind however isn't it downright strange that, when he talks of the achievements of effective Scots, First Minister John Swinney never ever points out the support Beira's Place has offered to numerous females?

Money is not the only thing women acting to protect their rights require. Ask anybody who has been through the tribunal process and they'll inform you that the emotional assistance of buddies and allies is vital.

This comfort will not remain in brief supply for those women who get backing for their cases from the JK Rowling Women's Fund. The writer is part of a worldwide network of advocates, fighting to protect women's rights against the demands of trans activists, and contacts us to action and assistance do not go unheeded.

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