For years, now, females have been losing jobs after bold to express the view that biology is real and crucial.

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

Inevitably, tribunals have actually followed a number of these cases. During these, we have actually heard terrible information of ladies treated abominably by employers in thrall to campaigners who urged and imposed the prohibited adoption of self-ID policies when it came to single-sex areas.

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

Equally undoubtedly, those women efficient in fighting back have actually been winning legal actions.

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

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

The establishment by the author and philanthropist JK Rowling of a fund to support ladies's legal security of their rights right away removes any monetary barriers to action for those with practical cases.

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

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

Since the Supreme Court ruled, last month, that sex, in law, was a matter of biology instead of documents, a number of organisations - in both the public and economic sectors - have actually released statements revealing their choices to "think about" the implications for their policies.

This extensive and careless complacency stands to cost business - and taxpayer-funded bodies - dear. The facts are easy. If a service is provided on a single sex basis that suggests biological sex, not individuality.

The law is the law and no additional consideration is needed in order for companies to satisfy their responsibilities under it.

A number of past legal actions after women were unjustly dismissed or bullied out of jobs for declining to agree with the mantra "trans females are women" were possible thanks to the assistance of online crowd-funding projects. Ms Rowling often promoted - and contributed to - such fundraising events.

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

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

At the heart of commercial tribunals there might be vulnerable people betting high stakes but the human expense means absolutely nothing to the insurers financing employers' expenses. 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 attorneys in the service will, I presume, encourage numerous to prompt settlement rather than the humiliation, and inescapable cost, of more doomed defences.

If one required evidence that women's rights need the fiercest security, it came in the action to the launch of Ms Rowling's fund.

With tasty pathos, one activist legal representative stated online that the Harry Potter developer had "emerged from the shadows" as the funder of what he described as the "anti feminist biology is fate movement".

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

Other reactions were, naturally, more violent in tone.

The ongoing tribunal including nurse Sandie Peggie, declaring discrimination and harassment against NHS Fife and trans-identifying physician Beth Upton, brought the concern of the method so called "gender critical" ladies had actually been dealt with at work to wide attention. This is a case that "cut through" with the general public and required some political leaders to deal with a problem 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 importance of biological sex.

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

But while the Peggie case and the subsequent judgment on the legal significance of sex by the Supreme Court may have forced a humiliating U-turn by the Labour management on the matter of biological reality, others remain stubbornly committed to defiance of the law.

Naturally, the Scottish Greens - a terrific Wodehousian satire of a revolutionary cell - remain committed to making use of single-sex spaces by anyone who feels they come from that sex.

There have actually been current 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 expensive legal action in the making.

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

Nor needs to the novelist 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 money Beira's Place and to finance the legal costs of ladies 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 political leaders.

I understand that recognition 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 mentions the support Beira's Place has provided to hundreds of ?

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

This convenience will not be in brief supply for those females who get support for their cases from the JK Rowling Women's Fund. The author belongs to an international network of advocates, fighting to protect ladies's rights versus the demands of trans activists, and contacts us to action and support do not go unheeded.

Let the country's personnels departments brace themselves. A most exceptional plot twist has just been written.
