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

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

Inevitably, tribunals have actually followed a number of these cases. During these, we've heard scary information of women dealt with abominably by companies in thrall to advocates who prompted and implemented the unlawful adoption of self-ID policies when it pertained to single-sex areas.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

This widespread and negligent complacency stands to cost companies - and taxpayer-funded bodies - dear. The realities are basic. If a service is offered on a single sex basis that means biological sex, not personal identity.

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

A number of previous legal actions after ladies were unfairly dismissed or bullied out of jobs for refusing to concur with the mantra "trans women are females" were possible thanks to the support of online crowd-funding projects. Ms Rowling regularly promoted - and contributed to - such fundraisers.

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

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

At the heart of commercial tribunals there may be vulnerable individuals betting high stakes however the human expense suggests nothing to the insurers financing 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 best lawyers in business will, I believe, encourage many to urge settlement instead of the embarrassment, and unavoidable cost, of more doomed defences.

If one required proof that ladies's rights require the fiercest security, it was available in the response to the launch of Ms Rowling's fund.

With scrumptious pathos, one activist attorney declared online that the Harry Potter developer had "emerged from the shadows" as the funder of what he explained as the "anti feminist biology is fate movement".

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

Other actions were, naturally, more violent in tone.

The continuous tribunal including nurse Sandie Peggie, declaring discrimination and harassment against NHS Fife and trans-identifying physician Beth Upton, brought the issue of the way so called "gender important" women had actually been dealt with at work to broad attention. This is a case that "cut through" with the general public and required some politicians to resolve a concern they chose to avoid.

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

If they 'd known what they understand now, they included, they would not have actually enacted favour of the SNP's eventually doomed strategy to permit anyone 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 required 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 terrific Wodehousian satire of an advanced cell - remain committed to the use of single-sex spaces by anybody who feels they belong to that sex.

There have actually been recent statements of resistance from trade unions, too. Unison has actually permitted a trans lady 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 needs to not have actually been necessary for JK Rowling to guarantee to finance the legal costs of ladies victimized for their views on sex and gender. Nobody must ever have actually lost a job, a promotion, or a contract on the basis of their view that sex is immutable and important.

Nor needs to the author 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 money Beira's Place and to underwrite the legal expenses of ladies discriminated versus for thinking 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 political leaders.

I know that recognition is the last thing on the author's mind but isn't it downright odd that, when he talks of the achievements of effective Scots, First Swinney never ever points out the support Beira's Place has given to hundreds of ladies?

Money is not the only thing women taking action to safeguard their rights require. Ask anyone who has actually been through the tribunal procedure and they'll inform you that the emotional support of good friends and allies is vital.

This comfort will not remain in brief supply for those women who receive support for their cases from the JK Rowling Women's Fund. The writer becomes part of a worldwide network of campaigners, fighting to secure ladies's rights against the demands of trans activists, and contacts us to action and support do not go unheeded.

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