For many years, now, ladies have actually been losing jobs after bold to express the view that biology is genuine and essential.

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

Inevitably, tribunals have followed a variety of these cases. During these, we've heard horrifying information of women treated abominably by employers in thrall to advocates who urged and implemented the prohibited adoption of self-ID policies when it came 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 areas, from altering rooms to domestic violence sanctuaries.

Equally undoubtedly, those ladies efficient in battling back have been winning legal actions.

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

For every lady who has actually triumphed in court, there are much more for whom releasing a legal case appeared impossible.

The establishment by the author and benefactor JK Rowling of a fund to support women's legal protection of their rights right away gets rid of any monetary barriers to action for those with viable cases.

Author JK Rowling has actually established a fund to support females's legal security 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, was a matter of biology rather than paperwork, a number of organisations - in both the general public and personal sectors - have actually released declarations announcing their choices to "think about" the ramifications for their policies.

This widespread and careless 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 suggests biological sex, not individual identity.

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

A variety of previous legal actions after ladies were unjustly dismissed or bullied out of tasks for refusing to agree with the mantra "trans women are women" were possible thanks to the assistance of online crowd-funding projects. Ms Rowling often promoted - and donated to - such fundraisers.

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

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

At the heart of industrial tribunals there may be vulnerable individuals betting high stakes but the human cost suggests absolutely nothing to the insurance companies underwriting companies' costs. For them, it's everything about the bottom line and the prospect that every lady with a case now has access to the finest lawyers in the service will, I believe, encourage numerous to prompt settlement rather than the embarrassment, and inevitable expense, of more doomed defences.

If one needed evidence that women's rights require the fiercest protection, it came in the action to the launch of Ms Rowling's fund.

With scrumptious pathos, one activist lawyer stated online that the Harry Potter developer had "emerged from the shadows" as the funder of what he explained as the "anti feminist biology is destiny 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, naturally, more violent in tone.

The ongoing tribunal involving nurse Sandie Peggie, claiming discrimination and harassment against NHS Fife and trans-identifying physician Beth Upton, brought the issue of the method so called "gender vital" women had been dealt with at work to wide attention. This is a case that "cut through" with the general public and required some politicians to resolve a problem they chose to prevent.

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

If they 'd known what they know now, they added, they would not have actually enacted favour of the SNP's eventually doomed plan to permit anyone to self-identify into the legally-recognised sex of their picking.

But while the Peggie case and the subsequent ruling on the legal meaning of sex by the Supreme Court might have required an embarrassing 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 terrific Wodehousian satire of a revolutionary cell - remain dedicated to the usage of single-sex areas by anyone who feels they come from that sex.

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

It must not have actually been essential for JK Rowling to ensure to underwrite the legal costs of women discriminated against for their views on sex and gender. Nobody should ever have 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 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 decisions to fund Beira's Place and to finance the legal expenses of ladies discriminated against 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 politicians.

I know that recognition is the last thing on the author's mind however isn't it downright unusual that, when he broaches the accomplishments of effective 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 ladies acting to defend their rights need. Ask anybody who has actually been through the tribunal process and they'll tell you that the emotional assistance of good friends and allies is important.

This convenience will not be in brief supply for those ladies who get backing for their cases from the JK Rowling Women's Fund. The author is part of a global network of campaigners, battling to protect females's rights versus the needs of trans activists, and calls to action and support do not go unheeded.

Let the nation's human resources departments brace themselves. A most impressive plot twist has just been written.
