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

Companies and public bodies, caught by the demands of extremist trans activists, have actually exacted terrible 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 have actually heard scary information of women dealt with abominably by employers in thrall to campaigners who urged and implemented the prohibited adoption of self-ID policies when it pertained to single-sex areas.

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

Equally undoubtedly, those ladies capable of resisting have actually been winning legal actions.

But even a rock strong case does not make it easy to strike back. Good legal representatives are pricey and the procedure is draining, both physically and emotionally.

For every female who has thrived in court, there are much more for whom introducing a legal case seemed difficult.

The facility by the novelist and philanthropist JK Rowling of a fund to support ladies's legal defense of their rights instantly eliminates any financial barriers to action for those with practical cases.

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

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

Since the Supreme Court ruled, last month, that sex, in law, was a matter of biology rather than documents, a number of organisations - in both the general public and economic sectors - have actually provided declarations announcing their choices to "consider" the ramifications for their policies.

This prevalent and reckless complacency stands to - and taxpayer-funded bodies - dear. The facts are basic. If a service is offered on a single sex basis that suggests biological sex, not personal identity.

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

A variety of past legal actions after females were unjustly dismissed or bullied out of jobs for refusing to agree with the mantra "trans ladies are females" were possible thanks to the assistance of online crowd-funding projects. Ms Rowling regularly promoted - and donated to - such charity events.

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

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

At the heart of industrial tribunals there may be vulnerable people playing for high stakes but the human cost suggests absolutely nothing to the insurance companies underwriting employers' expenses. For them, it's everything about the bottom line and the prospect that every female with a case now has access to the very best lawyers in the business will, I presume, encourage lots of to prompt settlement instead of the embarrassment, and inescapable expense, of more doomed defences.

If one needed evidence that women's rights are in requirement of the fiercest defense, it can be found in the response to the launch of Ms Rowling's fund.

With tasty 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 destiny movement".

Ms Rowling has never ever remained 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, claiming discrimination and harassment against NHS Fife and trans-identifying medical professional Beth Upton, brought the problem of the way so called "gender vital" ladies had been treated at work to large attention. This is a case that "cut through" with the general public and forced some politicians to attend to an issue they preferred to avoid.

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

If they 'd understood what they know now, they included, they would not have voted in favour of the SNP's eventually doomed strategy to permit anyone 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 a humiliating U-turn by the Labour leadership on the matter of biological reality, others remain stubbornly dedicated to defiance of the law.

Naturally, the Scottish Greens - a great Wodehousian satire of a revolutionary cell - remain dedicated to using single-sex spaces by anyone who feels they come from that sex.

There have been recent declarations of resistance from trade unions, too. Unison has permitted 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 health boards - is another expensive legal action in the making.

It needs to not have actually been essential for JK Rowling to ensure to finance the legal costs of ladies discriminated against for their views on sex and gender. Nobody should ever have actually lost a task, a promotion, or an agreement on the basis of their view that sex is immutable and essential.

Nor must the author have felt it required to develop, 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 finance 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 political leaders.

I know that acknowledgment is the last thing on the writer's mind but isn't it downright strange that, when he talks of the accomplishments of successful Scots, First Minister John Swinney never points out the support Beira's Place has offered to numerous females?

Money is not the only thing ladies taking action to defend their rights need. Ask anyone who has actually been through the tribunal process and they'll inform you that the emotional support of buddies and allies is necessary.

This convenience will not be in brief supply for those females who get support for their cases from the JK Rowling Women's Fund. The author is part of a worldwide network of campaigners, combating to secure ladies's rights against the demands of trans activists, and contacts us to action and assistance do not go unheeded.

Let the country's personnels departments brace themselves. A most remarkable plot twist has actually simply been composed.
