For many years, now, females have actually been losing jobs after daring to express the view that biology is real and essential.

Companies and public bodies, caught 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've heard horrifying details of women dealt with abominably by companies in thrall to campaigners who prompted and enforced the illegal adoption of self-ID policies when it came to single-sex spaces.

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

Equally inevitably, those females efficient in battling back have actually been winning legal actions.

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

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

The facility by the novelist and philanthropist JK Rowling of a fund to support females's legal protection of their rights right away removes any monetary barriers to action for those with feasible cases.

Author JK Rowling has established a fund to support women's legal security of their rights

The intervention of Ms Rowling should, right now, be focusing minds in human resources departments across the nation.

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 actually issued statements announcing their decisions to "think about" the ramifications for their policies.

This prevalent 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 individuality.

The law is the law and no additional consideration is needed in order for employers to meet their obligations under it.

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

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

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

At the heart of industrial tribunals there might be susceptible individuals betting high stakes however the human expense suggests nothing to the insurers financing employers' costs. For them, it's everything about the bottom line and the prospect that every lady with a case now has access to the very best lawyers in the service will, I presume, encourage lots of to advise settlement instead of the humiliation, and unavoidable expense, of more doomed defences.

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

With tasty pathos, one activist lawyer 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 motion".

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

Other reactions were, predictably, more violent in tone.

The ongoing tribunal including nurse Sandie Peggie, claiming discrimination and harassment versus NHS Fife and trans-identifying physician Beth Upton, brought the problem 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 forced some political leaders to attend to a concern they preferred to prevent.

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

If they 'd known what they understand now, they included, they would not have voted in favour of the SNP's ultimately doomed strategy to enable anybody to self-identify into the legally-recognised sex of their choosing.

But while the Peggie case and the subsequent ruling on the legal meaning of sex by the Supreme Court might have required a humiliating U-turn by the Labour leadership 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 use 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 actually allowed a trans female to run for a women-only position on its national executive .

But every act of performative defiance by well-funded trade unions - or taxpayer-funded local authorities and health boards - is another costly legal action in the making.

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

Nor needs to the novelist have actually felt it required 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 money Beira's Place and to underwrite the legal expenses of females discriminated against 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 author's mind however isn't it downright unusual that, when he broaches the achievements of successful Scots, First Minister John Swinney never ever points out the assistance 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 procedure and they'll tell you that the emotional support of good friends and allies is essential.

This comfort will not be in brief supply for those ladies who receive backing for their cases from the JK Rowling Women's Fund. The author becomes part of a worldwide network of campaigners, battling to protect 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.
