For many years, now, women have been losing tasks after bold to reveal the view that biology is real and essential.

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

Inevitably, tribunals have followed a number of these cases. During these, we have actually heard terrible details of women treated abominably by employers in thrall to advocates who prompted and implemented the illegal adoption of self-ID policies when it concerned 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 refuges.

Equally undoubtedly, those women capable of combating back have been winning legal actions.

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

For each lady who has actually thrived in court, there are a lot more for whom launching a legal case appeared impossible.

The establishment by the author and philanthropist JK Rowling of a fund to support females's legal defense of their rights right away removes any financial barriers to action for those with feasible cases.

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

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

Since the Supreme Court ruled, last month, that sex, in law, referred biology instead of documents, a variety of organisations - in both the public and economic sectors - have provided declarations revealing their choices to "think about" the ramifications for their policies.

This prevalent and careless complacency stands to cost business - and taxpayer-funded bodies - dear. The truths are easy. If a service is offered on a single sex basis that suggests biological sex, not personal identity.

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

A number of past legal actions after women were unfairly dismissed or bullied out of jobs for refusing to concur with the mantra "trans women are ladies" were possible thanks to the assistance of online crowd-funding projects. Ms Rowling frequently promoted - and contributed 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 fact about sex.

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

At the heart of industrial tribunals there might be susceptible individuals playing for high stakes but the human cost indicates absolutely nothing to the insurers underwriting employers' expenses. For them, it's everything about the bottom line and the possibility that every lady with a case now has access to the very best attorneys in the organization will, I believe, encourage numerous to advise settlement rather than the humiliation, and inevitable cost, of more doomed defences.

If one required proof that females's rights need the fiercest security, it can be found 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 described as the "anti feminist biology is destiny movement".

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

Other reactions were, naturally, more violent in tone.

The ongoing tribunal involving nurse Sandie Peggie, claiming discrimination and harassment versus NHS Fife and trans-identifying physician Beth Upton, brought the issue of the way so called "gender critical" females had been dealt with at work to large attention. This is a case that "cut through" with the general public and forced some politicians to deal with an issue 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 what they know now, they added, they would not have actually voted in favour of the SNP's ultimately doomed strategy to permit anybody 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 required a humiliating U-turn by the Labour management on the matter of biological truth, others remain stubbornly devoted to defiance of the law.

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

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

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

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

Ms Rowling's decisions to fund Beira's Place and to underwrite the legal costs 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 writer's mind but isn't it downright unusual that, when he broaches the achievements of effective Scots, First Minister John Swinney never mentions the assistance Beira's Place has offered to numerous females?

Money is not the only thing ladies taking action to safeguard their rights need. Ask anybody who has actually been through the tribunal procedure and they'll inform you that the psychological assistance of pals and allies is necessary.

This comfort will not remain in short supply for those ladies who get support for their cases from the JK Rowling Women's Fund. The author becomes part of an international network of campaigners, fighting to safeguard females's rights against the demands of trans activists, and contacts us to action and assistance do not go unheeded.

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