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

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

Inevitably, tribunals have actually followed a variety of these cases. During these, we've heard terrible information of females treated abominably by companies in thrall to advocates who urged and implemented the prohibited adoption of self-ID policies when it pertained to single-sex spaces.

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

Equally inevitably, those ladies 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 pipes, both physically and emotionally.

For every single woman who has triumphed in court, there are much more for whom releasing a legal case seemed difficult.

The establishment by the author and benefactor 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 developed a fund to support ladies's legal security of their rights

The intervention of Ms Rowling should, today, be concentrating minds in personnels departments across the country.

Since the Supreme Court ruled, last month, that sex, in law, was a matter of biology instead of documentation, a variety of organisations - in both the general public and economic sectors - have actually provided declarations revealing their decisions to "think about" the ramifications for their policies.

This prevalent and reckless complacency stands to cost companies - and taxpayer-funded bodies - dear. The facts are simple. If a service is provided on a single sex basis that implies biological sex, not personal identity.

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

A number of previous legal actions after females were unfairly dismissed or bullied out of tasks for refusing to concur with the mantra "trans women are ladies" were possible thanks to the support of online crowd-funding projects. Ms Rowling often promoted - and contributed to - such charity events.

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

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

At the heart of commercial tribunals there might be vulnerable individuals betting high stakes but the human cost indicates absolutely nothing to the insurance companies financing companies' costs. For them, it's everything about the bottom line and the possibility that every female with a case now has access to the finest legal representatives in the business will, I suspect, encourage numerous to urge settlement instead of the humiliation, and inescapable expense, of more doomed defences.

If one required proof that ladies's rights are in requirement of the fiercest defense, 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 creator had "emerged from the shadows" as the funder of what he explained as the "anti feminist biology is destiny movement".

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

Other responses were, naturally, more violent in tone.

The continuous tribunal involving nurse Sandie Peggie, declaring discrimination and harassment against NHS Fife and trans-identifying medical professional Beth Upton, brought the issue of the method so called "gender vital" women had actually been treated at work to broad attention. This is a case that "cut through" with the public and required some political leaders to attend to a problem they chose to prevent.

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

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

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

Naturally, the Scottish Greens - a fantastic Wodehousian satire of a revolutionary cell - stay committed to using single-sex spaces by anybody who feels they come from that sex.

There have been current statements of resistance from trade unions, too. Unison has actually 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 - is another pricey legal action in the making.

It needs to not have been required for JK Rowling to ensure to underwrite the legal expenses of women victimized for their views on sex and gender. Nobody must ever have actually lost a task, a promotion, or an agreement on the basis of their view that sex is immutable and important.

Nor ought to the author have actually felt it necessary to establish, 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 costs of women 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 but isn't it downright unusual that, when he broaches the accomplishments of successful Scots, First Minister John Swinney never points out the support Beira's Place has given to numerous females?

Money is not the only thing women taking action to protect their rights need. Ask anybody who has actually been through the tribunal procedure and they'll inform you that the emotional support of buddies and allies is essential.

This comfort will not be in brief supply for those women who get support for their cases from the JK Rowling Women's Fund. The writer is part of a global network of advocates, battling 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 personnels departments brace themselves. A most impressive plot twist has actually just been composed.
