For years, now, women have actually been losing jobs after daring to reveal the view that biology is genuine and important.

Companies and public bodies, recorded by the demands of extremist trans activists, have exacted harsh penalties on those revealing perfectly 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 women treated abominably by companies in thrall to advocates who prompted and imposed the illegal adoption of self-ID policies when it came to single-sex spaces.

We've become aware of females bullied and shunned for questioning the right of those born male to self-identify into women's areas, from altering spaces to domestic violence sanctuaries.

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

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

For each female who has actually thrived in court, there are many more for whom launching a legal case seemed impossible.

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

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

The intervention of Ms Rowling should, right now, be focusing minds in personnels departments throughout the nation.

Since the Supreme Court ruled, last month, that sex, in law, referred biology rather than paperwork, a number of organisations - in both the public and personal sectors - have released statements revealing their choices to "think about" the implications for their policies.

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

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

A variety of previous legal actions after females were unjustly dismissed or bullied out of jobs for declining to agree with the mantra "trans women are ladies" were possible thanks to the assistance of online crowd-funding campaigns. Ms Rowling often 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 truth about sex.

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

At the heart of commercial tribunals there might be susceptible people betting high stakes but the human cost suggests nothing to the insurance companies financing companies' costs. For them, it's everything about the bottom line and the possibility that every female with a case now has access to the very best lawyers in the company will, I suspect, motivate numerous to advise settlement rather than the humiliation, and unavoidable cost, of more doomed defences.

If one needed evidence that women's rights are in need of the fiercest defense, it was available in the reaction to the launch of Ms Rowling's fund.

With scrumptious pathos, one activist lawyer stated online that the Harry Potter creator had "emerged from the shadows" as the funder of what he explained as the "anti feminist biology is destiny motion".

Ms Rowling has never 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 continuous tribunal involving nurse Sandie Peggie, claiming discrimination and harassment versus NHS Fife and trans-identifying medical professional Beth Upton, brought the concern of the way so called "gender crucial" females had been treated at work to broad attention. This is a case that "cut through" with the public and forced some politicians to address a concern they preferred to prevent.

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

If they 'd understood what they know now, they added, they would not have actually voted in favour of the SNP's ultimately doomed plan to allow anybody 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 may have forced an embarrassing U-turn by the Labour management on the matter of biological truth, others remain stubbornly dedicated to defiance of the law.

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

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

It needs to not have been necessary for JK Rowling to ensure to underwrite the legal expenses of women discriminated against for their views on sex and gender. Nobody should ever have lost a task, a promo, or an agreement on the basis of their view that sex is immutable and important.

Nor needs to the novelist have felt it necessary 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 fund Beira's Place and to finance the legal costs of women discriminated versus 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 politicians.

I understand that acknowledgment is the last thing on the writer's mind however isn't it downright odd that, when he broaches the achievements of successful Scots, First Minister John Swinney never ever mentions the assistance Beira's Place has provided to hundreds of females?

Money is not the only thing females taking action to defend their rights require. Ask anyone who has been through the tribunal procedure and they'll inform you that the emotional support of buddies and allies is necessary.

This convenience will not be in brief supply for those ladies who receive backing for their cases from the JK Rowling Women's Fund. The writer is part of a global network of advocates, combating to safeguard ladies'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 impressive plot twist has simply been composed.
