For several years, now, females have actually been losing tasks after bold to express the view that biology is real and important.

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

Inevitably, tribunals have actually followed a number of these cases. During these, we've heard horrifying information of with abominably by employers in thrall to advocates who advised and implemented the illegal adoption of self-ID policies when it concerned single-sex spaces.

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

Equally undoubtedly, those ladies efficient in resisting have actually been winning legal actions.

But even a rock strong case does not make it simple to retaliate. Good lawyers are pricey and the process is draining, both physically and emotionally.

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

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

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

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

Since the Supreme Court ruled, last month, that sex, in law, referred biology rather than documents, a number of organisations - in both the general public and private sectors - have released statements announcing their decisions to "consider" the ramifications for their policies.

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

The law is the law and no further factor to consider is required in order for employers to satisfy their responsibilities under it.

A number of past legal actions after women were unjustly dismissed or bullied out of jobs for declining to agree with the mantra "trans females are women" were possible thanks to the assistance of online crowd-funding campaigns. Ms Rowling frequently promoted - and donated 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 truth about sex.

The JK Rowling Women's Fund will change the battleground when it pertains to women discriminated versus for their legitimate, reality-based views.

At the heart of industrial tribunals there might be susceptible people betting high stakes but the human expense implies nothing to the insurance providers underwriting employers' costs. For them, it's everything about the bottom line and the possibility that every lady with a case now has access to the very best legal representatives in business will, I think, motivate lots of to urge settlement rather than the humiliation, and inescapable cost, of more doomed defences.

If one needed proof that ladies's rights are in requirement of the fiercest defense, it was available in the response to the launch of Ms Rowling's fund.

With scrumptious pathos, one activist lawyer stated 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 motion".

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

Other reactions were, predictably, more violent in tone.

The ongoing tribunal including nurse Sandie Peggie, declaring discrimination and harassment versus NHS Fife and trans-identifying doctor Beth Upton, brought the concern of the way so called "gender crucial" women had actually been dealt with at work to broad attention. This is a case that "cut through" with the general public and forced some politicians to address a concern they preferred to prevent.

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

If they 'd understood what they know now, they added, they would not have enacted favour of the SNP's ultimately doomed plan to allow anybody to self-identify into the legally-recognised sex of their picking.

But while the Peggie case and the subsequent ruling on the legal meaning of sex by the Supreme Court may have forced an embarrassing U-turn by the Labour management on the matter of biological reality, others remain stubbornly dedicated to defiance of the law.

Naturally, the Scottish Greens - a terrific Wodehousian satire of an innovative cell - remain committed to making use of single-sex areas by anybody who feels they come from that sex.

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

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

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

Ms Rowling's choices to money Beira's Place and to finance the legal expenses of ladies discriminated against for thinking 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 politicians.

I understand that acknowledgment is the last thing on the writer's mind but isn't it downright weird that, when he talks of the accomplishments of successful Scots, First Minister John Swinney never discusses the assistance Beira's Place has offered to hundreds of women?

Money is not the only thing ladies taking action to safeguard their rights need. Ask anybody who has actually been through the tribunal process and they'll tell you that the psychological support of pals and allies is important.

This comfort will not be in brief supply for those females who get backing for their cases from the JK Rowling Women's Fund. The writer becomes part of a worldwide network of advocates, fighting to safeguard women'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 remarkable plot twist has actually simply been composed.
