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

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

Inevitably, tribunals have actually followed a variety of these cases. During these, we've heard terrible details of with abominably by companies in thrall to advocates who prompted and imposed the unlawful adoption of self-ID policies when it pertained to single-sex spaces.

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

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

But even a rock strong case does not make it simple to retaliate. Good lawyers are costly and the process is draining, both physically and mentally.

For every single female who has thrived in court, there are much more for whom introducing a legal case appeared impossible.

The facility by the author and philanthropist JK Rowling of a fund to support females's legal defense of their rights instantly removes any financial barriers to action for those with viable 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 focusing minds in personnels departments across the country.

Since the Supreme Court ruled, last month, that sex, in law, was a matter of biology rather than paperwork, a number of organisations - in both the general public and private sectors - have actually issued statements announcing their choices to "think about" the ramifications for their policies.

This extensive and negligent complacency stands to cost companies - and taxpayer-funded bodies - dear. The truths are easy. If a service is offered on a single sex basis that implies biological sex, not individual identity.

The law is the law and no additional factor to consider is required in order for employers to fulfill their commitments under it.

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

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

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

At the heart of commercial tribunals there may be vulnerable individuals playing for high stakes but the human expense implies nothing to the insurers financing companies' expenses. For them, it's everything about the bottom line and the prospect that every woman with a case now has access to the best attorneys in the business will, I suspect, encourage numerous to advise settlement rather than the embarrassment, and unavoidable cost, of more doomed defences.

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

With tasty 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 movement".

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

Other actions were, predictably, more violent in tone.

The continuous tribunal involving nurse Sandie Peggie, declaring discrimination and harassment versus NHS Fife and trans-identifying medical professional Beth Upton, brought the concern of the way so called "gender important" women had actually been treated at work to wide attention. This is a case that "cut through" with the public and forced some political leaders to address a concern they preferred to avoid.

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

If they 'd understood what they understand now, they included, they would not have actually enacted favour of the SNP's eventually doomed plan to enable anybody to self-identify into the legally-recognised sex of their choosing.

But while the Peggie case and the subsequent judgment on the legal meaning of sex by the Supreme Court might have forced a humiliating U-turn by the Labour leadership on the matter of biological reality, others stay stubbornly dedicated to defiance of the law.

Naturally, the Scottish Greens - a fantastic Wodehousian satire of an advanced cell - remain committed to making 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 female 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 local authorities and health boards - is another expensive legal action in the making.

It ought to not have actually been necessary for JK Rowling to guarantee to underwrite the legal costs of women victimized for their views on sex and gender. Nobody should ever have actually lost a job, a promotion, or an agreement on the basis of their view that sex is immutable and crucial.

Nor must the author have actually felt it required to establish, 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 females victimized 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 understand that acknowledgment is the last thing on the writer's mind but isn't it downright strange that, when he talks of the accomplishments of successful Scots, First Minister John Swinney never ever discusses the support Beira's Place has provided to hundreds of women?

Money is not the only thing females doing something about it to safeguard their rights need. 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 important.

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 global network of campaigners, fighting 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 human resources departments brace themselves. A most impressive plot twist has simply been written.
