For several years, now, ladies have actually 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 exacted terrible penalties on those revealing completely mainstream - and legal - views on sex and gender.

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

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

Equally inevitably, those females capable of combating back have been winning legal actions.

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

For each lady who has triumphed in court, there are lots of more for whom introducing a legal case appeared difficult.

The facility by the author and benefactor JK Rowling of a fund to support ladies's legal security of their rights right away eliminates any monetary barriers to action for those with practical cases.

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

The intervention of Ms Rowling should, right now, be focusing minds in personnels departments across the nation.

Since the Supreme Court ruled, last month, that sex, in law, referred biology instead of documentation, a number of organisations - in both the general public and economic sectors - have actually released statements announcing their decisions to "think about" the implications for their policies.

This extensive and negligent complacency stands to cost business - and - dear. The truths are easy. If a service is offered on a single sex basis that means biological sex, not individual identity.

The law is the law and no additional factor to consider is needed in order for employers to satisfy their obligations under it.

A variety of previous legal actions after females were unfairly dismissed or bullied out of tasks for declining to agree with the mantra "trans ladies are females" were possible thanks to the assistance of online crowd-funding projects. Ms Rowling often promoted - and donated to - such fundraisers.

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

The JK Rowling Women's Fund will transform the battlefield when it comes to ladies discriminated versus for their genuine, reality-based views.

At the heart of industrial tribunals there may be susceptible people playing for high stakes but the human cost means nothing to the insurers financing companies' expenses. For them, it's all about the bottom line and the possibility that every woman with a case now has access to the best legal representatives in the business will, I believe, motivate numerous to advise settlement instead of the embarrassment, and inescapable cost, of more doomed defences.

If one required proof that women's rights are in need of the fiercest defense, it came in the reaction to the launch of Ms Rowling's fund.

With scrumptious pathos, one activist legal representative stated 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 fate movement".

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

Other actions were, naturally, more violent in tone.

The ongoing tribunal including nurse Sandie Peggie, declaring discrimination and harassment versus NHS Fife and trans-identifying physician Beth Upton, brought the concern of the way so called "gender important" ladies had been treated at work to large attention. This is a case that "cut through" with the public and required some political leaders to deal with an issue they preferred to prevent.

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

If they 'd known what they understand now, they included, they would not have actually enacted favour of the SNP's ultimately doomed strategy to enable anybody 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 an embarrassing U-turn by the Labour leadership on the matter of biological truth, others remain stubbornly devoted to defiance of the law.

Naturally, the Scottish Greens - a terrific Wodehousian satire of an advanced cell - remain dedicated to making use of single-sex spaces by anyone who feels they belong to that sex.

There have been recent declarations of resistance from trade unions, too. Unison has permitted a trans lady to run for a women-only position on its national executive council.

But every act of performative defiance by well-funded trade unions - or taxpayer-funded local authorities and health boards - is another expensive legal action in the making.

It should not have been essential for JK Rowling to guarantee to finance the legal expenses of females discriminated versus for their views on sex and gender. Nobody ought to ever have actually lost a job, a promotion, or a contract on the basis of their view that sex is immutable and essential.

Nor should the author have actually felt it necessary to develop, in 2022, Beira's Place, a women-only assistance service for victims of sexual violence in the Lothian location.

Ms Rowling's choices to fund Beira's Place and to finance the legal costs of females discriminated versus 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 author's mind but isn't it downright odd that, when he broaches the achievements of effective Scots, First Minister John Swinney never mentions the assistance Beira's Place has offered to hundreds of ladies?

Money is not the only thing females doing something about it to safeguard their rights need. Ask anybody who has been through the tribunal process and they'll inform you that the psychological support of buddies and allies is necessary.

This comfort will not remain in brief supply for those ladies who get support for their cases from the JK Rowling Women's Fund. The writer is part of an international network of advocates, fighting to protect females's rights versus the demands 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 simply been composed.
