For many years, now, ladies have actually been losing jobs after daring to reveal the view that biology is real and important.

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

Inevitably, tribunals have followed a number of these cases. During these, we have actually heard horrifying information of ladies dealt with abominably by companies in thrall to advocates who urged and enforced the prohibited adoption of self-ID policies when it pertained to single-sex spaces.

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

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

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

For every single woman who has actually thrived in court, there are a lot more for whom launching a legal case appeared impossible.

The facility by the author and philanthropist JK Rowling of a fund to support women's legal protection of their rights right away eliminates any financial barriers to action for those with practical cases.

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

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

Since the Supreme Court ruled, last month, that sex, in law, referred biology rather than paperwork, a number of organisations - in both the public and personal sectors - have issued declarations announcing their decisions to "consider" the ramifications for their policies.

This widespread and careless complacency stands to cost business - and taxpayer-funded bodies - dear. The facts are basic. If a service is offered on a single sex basis that means biological sex, not personal identity.

The law is the law and no further factor to consider is needed in order for companies to meet their commitments under it.

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

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

The JK Rowling Women's Fund will change the battleground when it concerns females discriminated against for their legitimate, reality-based views.

At the heart of industrial tribunals there may be vulnerable individuals playing for high stakes however the human expense means absolutely nothing to the insurance providers financing employers' expenses. For them, it's all about the bottom line and the prospect that every female with a case now has access to the very best legal representatives in the company will, I think, motivate numerous to advise settlement rather than the embarrassment, and inevitable cost, of more doomed defences.

If one required proof that females's rights require the fiercest defense, it can be found in the reaction to the launch of Ms Rowling's fund.

With tasty pathos, one activist lawyer stated online that the Harry Potter creator 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 been in the shadows when it pertains to her views on women's rights, has she?

Other responses were, naturally, more violent in tone.

The continuous tribunal involving nurse Sandie Peggie, claiming discrimination and harassment against NHS Fife and trans-identifying medical professional Beth Upton, brought the problem of the method so called "gender vital" ladies had been treated at work to broad attention. This is a case that "cut through" with the general public and forced some political leaders to address a problem they preferred to avoid.

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

If they 'd understood what they understand now, they added, they would not have actually enacted favour of the SNP's eventually doomed strategy to allow 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 might have forced a humiliating U-turn by the Labour management on the matter of biological reality, others stay stubbornly devoted to defiance of the law.

Naturally, the Scottish Greens - an excellent Wodehousian satire of a revolutionary cell - stay dedicated to the usage of single-sex areas 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 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 regional 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 finance the legal expenses of women against for their views on sex and gender. Nobody should ever have actually lost a task, a promotion, or an agreement on the basis of their view that sex is immutable and important.

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

Ms Rowling's decisions to money Beira's Place and to finance the legal expenses of females discriminated versus 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 broaches the achievements of effective Scots, First Minister John Swinney never ever discusses the assistance Beira's Place has offered to hundreds of women?

Money is not the only thing females doing something about it to protect their rights need. Ask anyone who has been through the tribunal process and they'll inform you that the emotional assistance of friends and allies is essential.

This convenience will not remain in brief supply for those women who receive backing for their cases from the JK Rowling Women's Fund. The author becomes part of a worldwide network of advocates, fighting to secure women's rights versus 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 exceptional plot twist has actually simply been written.
