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

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

Inevitably, tribunals have followed a variety of these cases. During these, we have actually heard horrifying details of ladies dealt with abominably by companies in thrall to advocates who urged and imposed the unlawful adoption of self-ID policies when it concerned single-sex spaces.

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

Equally undoubtedly, those females capable of fighting back have been winning legal actions.

But even a rock solid case does not make it easy to retaliate. Good attorneys are costly and the procedure is draining pipes, both physically and emotionally.

For each woman who has thrived in court, there are much more for whom releasing a legal case appeared impossible.

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

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

The intervention of Ms Rowling should, today, be concentrating minds in human resources departments throughout the country.

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

This widespread and careless complacency stands to cost companies - and taxpayer-funded bodies - dear. The realities are simple. If a service is offered on a single sex basis that suggests biological sex, not individuality.

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

A variety of previous legal actions after women were unjustly dismissed or bullied out of tasks for declining to agree with the mantra "trans ladies are women" were possible thanks to the support of online crowd-funding projects. Ms Rowling frequently promoted - and contributed to - such fundraising events.

Now, she's a one-woman crowd-funder, all set 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 battlefield when it concerns women victimized for their legitimate, reality-based views.

At the heart of industrial tribunals there might be susceptible people playing for high stakes but the human cost indicates nothing to the insurance companies underwriting employers' expenses. For them, it's all about the bottom line and the possibility that every lady with a case now has access to the best legal representatives in the organization will, I believe, motivate lots of to urge settlement rather than the embarrassment, and inevitable cost, of more doomed defences.

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

With delicious pathos, one activist lawyer declared 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 destiny movement".

Ms Rowling has never ever been in the shadows when it concerns her views on ladies's rights, has she?

Other responses were, predictably, more violent in tone.

The ongoing tribunal including nurse Sandie Peggie, declaring discrimination and harassment against NHS Fife and trans-identifying physician Beth Upton, brought the issue of the way so called "gender vital" ladies had actually been dealt with at work to large attention. This is a case that "cut through" with the 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, announced their assistance for Ms Peggie and stated their belief in the value of biological sex.

If they 'd known what they understand now, they added, they would not have voted in favour of the SNP's eventually doomed strategy to enable anybody to self-identify into the legally-recognised sex of their picking.

But while the Peggie case and the subsequent judgment on the legal significance of sex by the Supreme Court may 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 use of single-sex areas by anybody who feels they come from that sex.

There have been current statements of resistance from trade unions, too. Unison has actually permitted a trans lady 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 local authorities and health boards - is another pricey legal action in the making.

It should not have been essential for JK Rowling to guarantee to underwrite the legal costs of ladies discriminated versus for their views on sex and gender. Nobody needs to ever have actually lost a job, a promo, or a contract on the basis of their view that sex is immutable and essential.

Nor ought to the novelist have felt it essential to develop, 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 expenses of females discriminated versus for believing 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 however isn't it downright weird that, when he broaches the accomplishments of effective Scots, First Minister John Swinney never ever discusses the assistance Beira's Place has offered to numerous ladies?

Money is not the only thing women acting to protect their rights need. Ask anybody who has been through the tribunal process and they'll tell you that the psychological support of buddies and allies is important.

This comfort will not be in short supply for those women who receive backing for their cases from the JK Rowling Women's Fund. The writer belongs to an international network of campaigners, battling to secure ladies's rights versus the demands of trans activists, and calls to action and assistance do not go unheeded.

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