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

Companies and public bodies, captured by the needs of extremist trans activists, have 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 details of females dealt with abominably by companies in thrall to advocates who urged and implemented the illegal adoption of self-ID policies when it pertained to single-sex spaces.

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

Equally inevitably, those females efficient in resisting have actually been winning legal actions.

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

For every lady who has triumphed in court, there are numerous more for whom introducing a legal case seemed difficult.

The establishment by the author and philanthropist JK Rowling of a fund to support women's legal defense of their rights right away eliminates any monetary barriers to action for those with viable cases.

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

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

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

This prevalent and reckless complacency stands to cost business - and taxpayer-funded bodies - dear. The realities are easy. If a service is offered on a single sex basis that indicates biological sex, not individuality.

The law is the law and no more consideration is required in order for companies to fulfill their responsibilities under it.

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

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

The JK Rowling Women's Fund will change the battleground when it comes to women victimized for their genuine, reality-based views.

At the heart of commercial tribunals there may be vulnerable individuals betting high stakes however the human expense suggests nothing to the insurers underwriting companies' costs. For them, it's all about the bottom line and the possibility that every woman with a case now has access to the very best lawyers in the service will, I believe, motivate many to advise settlement rather than the embarrassment, and inescapable expense, of more doomed defences.

If one needed proof that females's rights need the fiercest protection, 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 developer had "emerged from the shadows" as the funder of what he explained as the "anti feminist biology is fate motion".

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

Other responses were, naturally, more violent in tone.

The ongoing tribunal involving nurse Sandie Peggie, claiming discrimination and harassment against NHS Fife and trans-identifying doctor Beth Upton, brought the issue of the method so called "gender critical" ladies had been treated at work to broad attention. This is a case that "cut through" with the general public and required some politicians to resolve a problem they preferred to prevent.

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

If they 'd understood what they understand now, they added, they would not have actually enacted 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 forced a humiliating U-turn by the Labour management on the matter of biological truth, others stay stubbornly committed to defiance of the law.

Naturally, the Scottish Greens - a fantastic Wodehousian satire of an innovative cell - remain committed to using single-sex spaces by anyone who feels they come from that sex.

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

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

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

Ms to fund Beira's Place and to finance the legal expenses of ladies discriminated versus for believing in the truth 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 recognition is the last thing on the writer's mind but isn't it downright unusual that, when he broaches the accomplishments of successful Scots, First Minister John Swinney never discusses the support Beira's Place has offered to hundreds of females?

Money is not the only thing ladies doing something about it to protect their rights need. Ask anyone who has been through the tribunal procedure and they'll tell you that the emotional support of good friends and allies is essential.

This comfort will not remain in short supply for those females who get backing for their cases from the JK Rowling Women's Fund. The author belongs to a global network of campaigners, fighting to safeguard women's rights against the demands of trans activists, and calls 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.
