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


Companies and public bodies, captured by the needs 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 have actually heard scary details of women dealt with abominably by companies in thrall to campaigners who advised and imposed the prohibited adoption of self-ID policies when it concerned single-sex areas.


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


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


But even a rock strong case does not make it simple to strike back. Good attorneys are expensive and the procedure is draining pipes, both physically and emotionally.


For every woman who has thrived in court, there are many more for whom introducing a legal case appeared difficult.


The facility by the novelist and philanthropist JK Rowling of a fund to support ladies's legal defense of their rights instantly gets rid of any financial barriers to action for those with practical cases.

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


Since the Supreme Court ruled, last month, that sex, in law, referred biology instead of paperwork, a variety of organisations - in both the public and economic sectors - have provided declarations announcing their choices to "think about" the ramifications for their policies.


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


The law is the law and no more factor to consider is required in order for employers to meet their responsibilities under it.


A variety of previous legal actions after females were unfairly dismissed or bullied out of jobs for declining to agree with the mantra "trans females are women" were possible thanks to the support of online crowd-funding campaigns. Ms Rowling regularly promoted - and donated to - such charity events.


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


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


At the heart of commercial tribunals there might be vulnerable people for high stakes however the human expense suggests nothing to the insurance providers financing companies' costs. For them, it's all about the bottom line and the possibility that every woman with a case now has access to the very best attorneys in business will, I suspect, encourage many to advise settlement instead of the humiliation, and inescapable expense, of more doomed defences.


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

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

Ms Rowling has never remained in the shadows when it concerns 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 medical professional Beth Upton, brought the issue of the method so called "gender critical" ladies had been treated at work to broad attention. This is a case that "cut through" with the general public and required some politicians to deal with a concern 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 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 may have forced 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 committed to using single-sex areas by anybody who feels they belong to that sex.


There have been current declarations of resistance from trade unions, too. Unison has allowed a trans woman 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 regional authorities and health boards - is another costly legal action in the making.


It needs to not have been needed for JK Rowling to ensure to finance the legal expenses of women discriminated against for their views on sex and gender. Nobody ought to ever have lost a task, a promo, or an agreement on the basis of their view that sex is immutable and crucial.


Nor ought to the novelist have actually felt it required to develop, in 2022, Beira's Place, a women-only assistance service for victims of sexual violence in the Lothian area.


Ms Rowling's choices to money Beira's Place and to finance the legal expenses of ladies 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 politicians.

I understand that acknowledgment is the last thing on the author's mind however isn't it downright strange that, when he talks of the accomplishments of successful Scots, First Minister John Swinney never mentions the assistance Beira's Place has provided to hundreds of ladies?


Money is not the only thing ladies taking action to protect their rights need. Ask anyone who has been through the tribunal process and they'll inform you that the emotional support of friends and allies is essential.


This convenience will not be in short supply for those women who get backing for their cases from the JK Rowling Women's Fund. The writer becomes part of a global network of campaigners, battling to safeguard females's rights versus the demands of trans activists, and contacts us to action and support do not go unheeded.


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