For several years, now, ladies have been losing tasks after daring to reveal the view that biology is genuine and essential.

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

Inevitably, tribunals have actually followed a number of these cases. During these, we have actually heard horrifying information of ladies dealt with abominably by employers in thrall to campaigners who prompted and imposed the unlawful adoption of self-ID policies when it pertained to single-sex areas.

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

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

But even a rock solid case does not make it easy to strike back. Good lawyers are pricey and the process is draining pipes, both physically and emotionally.

For each female who has actually thrived in court, there are lots of more for whom launching a legal case seemed impossible.

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

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

The intervention of Ms Rowling should, today, 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 rather than documents, a variety of organisations - in both the public and personal sectors - have actually released declarations announcing their choices to "think about" the ramifications for their policies.

This prevalent and careless complacency stands to cost companies - and taxpayer-funded bodies - dear. The realities are easy. If a service is used on a single sex basis that indicates biological sex, not personal identity.

The law is the law and no additional factor to consider is required in order for companies to fulfill their responsibilities under it.

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

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

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

At the heart of industrial tribunals there may be vulnerable individuals playing for high stakes but the human cost implies nothing to the insurance companies underwriting companies' expenses. For them, it's everything about the bottom line and the possibility that every female with a case now has access to the best lawyers in business will, I think, encourage numerous to advise settlement instead of the embarrassment, and inevitable cost, of more doomed defences.

If one needed proof that females's rights need the fiercest defense, it was available in the reaction to the launch of Ms Rowling's fund.

With delicious pathos, one activist attorney declared online that the Harry Potter creator had "emerged from the shadows" as the funder of what he referred to as the "anti feminist biology is fate movement".

Ms Rowling has never been in the shadows when it pertains to her views on women's rights, has she?

Other reactions were, predictably, more violent in tone.

The ongoing tribunal involving nurse Sandie Peggie, claiming discrimination and harassment against NHS Fife and trans-identifying medical professional Beth Upton, brought the concern of the method so called "gender crucial" females 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 attend to an issue they chose to prevent.

Scottish Labour's leader Anas Sarwar and his deputy, Jackie Baillie, revealed their assistance for Ms Peggie and stated their belief in the importance 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 picking.

But while the Peggie case and the subsequent ruling on the legal significance of sex by the Supreme Court might have required a humiliating U-turn by the Labour management on the matter of biological truth, others stay stubbornly devoted to defiance of the law.

Naturally, the Scottish Greens - a great Wodehousian satire of an advanced cell - stay committed to the use of single-sex spaces by anybody who feels they belong to that sex.

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

It needs to not have actually been required for JK Rowling to guarantee to underwrite the legal costs of women discriminated versus for their views on sex and gender. Nobody ought to ever have lost a task, a promotion, or a contract on the basis of their view that sex is immutable and crucial.

Nor should the author have felt it needed to establish, in 2022, Beira's Place, a women-only support service for victims of sexual violence in the Lothian area.

Ms Rowling's choices to fund Beira's Place and to underwrite 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 acknowledgment is the last thing on the writer's mind but isn't it downright weird that, when he talks of the accomplishments of successful Scots, First Minister John Swinney never points out the assistance Beira's Place has offered to numerous women?

Money is not the only thing women taking action to safeguard their rights need. Ask anybody who has actually been through the tribunal process and they'll inform you that the psychological support of friends and allies is necessary.

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

Let the country's human resources departments brace themselves. A most amazing plot twist has actually simply been composed.
