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

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

Inevitably, tribunals have followed a variety of these cases. During these, we've heard horrifying information of women dealt with abominably by companies in thrall to campaigners who prompted and implemented the unlawful adoption of self-ID policies when it pertained to single-sex areas.

We have actually become aware of females bullied and avoided for questioning the right of those born male to self-identify into women's areas, from rooms to domestic violence sanctuaries.

Equally undoubtedly, those females efficient in 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 pipes, both physically and mentally.

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

The establishment by the author and philanthropist JK Rowling of a fund to support ladies's legal protection of their rights instantly gets rid of any monetary barriers to action for those with feasible cases.

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

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 rather than paperwork, a variety of organisations - in both the public and private sectors - have issued statements revealing their decisions to "consider" the ramifications for their policies.

This extensive and reckless complacency stands to cost business - and taxpayer-funded bodies - dear. The truths are basic. If a service is provided on a single sex basis that indicates biological sex, not personal identity.

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

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

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 ladies victimized for their genuine, reality-based views.

At the heart of industrial tribunals there may be vulnerable individuals playing for high stakes however the human expense suggests nothing to the insurance providers underwriting companies' expenses. For them, it's everything about the bottom line and the possibility that every woman with a case now has access to the finest attorneys in business will, I believe, motivate lots of to prompt settlement rather than the humiliation, and inescapable cost, of more doomed defences.

If one needed evidence that females's rights are in need of the fiercest defense, it came in the response to the launch of Ms Rowling's fund.

With tasty pathos, one activist lawyer 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 destiny motion".

Ms Rowling has never ever been in the shadows when it pertains to 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 versus NHS Fife and trans-identifying medical professional Beth Upton, brought the issue of the way so called "gender vital" females had been treated at work to large attention. This is a case that "cut through" with the general public and forced some politicians to resolve an issue they preferred to prevent.

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

If they 'd understood what they understand now, they included, they would not have enacted favour of the SNP's eventually doomed strategy to allow anybody to self-identify into the legally-recognised sex of their picking.

But while the Peggie case and the subsequent judgment on the legal meaning of sex by the Supreme Court may have required an embarrassing 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 - an excellent Wodehousian satire of an innovative cell - stay committed to the use of single-sex areas by anybody who feels they belong to that sex.

There have been recent declarations of resistance from trade unions, too. Unison has 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 expensive legal action in the making.

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

Nor must the novelist have felt it needed 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 underwrite the legal costs of ladies victimized 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 recognition is the last thing on the writer's mind but isn't it downright weird that, when he broaches the achievements of effective Scots, First Minister John Swinney never mentions the assistance Beira's Place has given to numerous women?

Money is not the only thing ladies acting to protect their rights require. Ask anyone who has actually been through the tribunal process and they'll tell you that the emotional assistance of good friends and allies is necessary.

This convenience will not remain in short supply for those women who get support for their cases from the JK Rowling Women's Fund. The author becomes part of a worldwide network of campaigners, combating to protect women's rights versus the needs of trans activists, and calls to action and support do not go unheeded.

Let the country's human resources departments brace themselves. A most remarkable plot twist has just been composed.
