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

Companies and public bodies, recorded by the needs of extremist trans activists, have actually exacted harsh punishments on those expressing perfectly mainstream - and legal - views on sex and gender.

Inevitably, tribunals have actually followed a variety of these cases. During these, we have actually heard terrible details of women treated abominably by companies in thrall to campaigners who advised and enforced the illegal adoption of self-ID policies when it pertained to single-sex areas.

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

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

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

For every single female who has thrived in court, there are a lot more for whom launching a legal case appeared difficult.

The facility by the novelist and philanthropist JK Rowling of a fund to support females's legal security of their rights right away gets rid of any financial barriers to action for those with practical cases.

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

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

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

This widespread and reckless complacency stands to cost business - and taxpayer-funded bodies - dear. The truths are easy. If a service is provided on a single sex basis that implies biological sex, not personal identity.

The law is the law and no further consideration is required in order for employers to fulfill their obligations under it.

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

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

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

At the heart of commercial tribunals there may be vulnerable individuals betting high stakes however the human cost implies nothing to the insurance providers underwriting companies' costs. For them, it's everything about the bottom line and the possibility that every woman with a case now has access to the very best attorneys in the company will, I think, motivate numerous to advise settlement rather than the embarrassment, and inevitable expense, of more doomed defences.

If one required evidence that ladies's rights require the fiercest protection, it was available in the reaction to the launch of Ms Rowling's fund.

With scrumptious pathos, one activist attorney declared online that the Harry Potter developer had "emerged from the shadows" as the funder of what he described as the "anti feminist biology is fate movement".

Ms Rowling has never ever 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 continuous tribunal involving nurse Sandie Peggie, declaring discrimination and harassment against NHS Fife and trans-identifying doctor Beth Upton, brought the concern of the method so called "gender important" women had actually been treated at work to wide attention. This is a case that "cut through" with the general public and forced some political leaders to resolve an issue they preferred to prevent.

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

If they 'd understood what they understand now, they added, they would not have actually voted in favour of the SNP's eventually doomed strategy to enable anyone 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 required 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 fantastic Wodehousian satire of a revolutionary cell - stay committed to making use of single-sex areas by anybody who feels they come from that sex.

There have actually been recent declarations of resistance from trade unions, too. Unison has actually allowed a trans female 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 ought to not have actually been essential for JK Rowling to guarantee to underwrite the legal costs of females victimized for their views on sex and gender. Nobody ought to ever have actually lost a task, a promotion, or a contract on the basis of their view that sex is immutable and important.

Nor needs to the author have felt it required to establish, in 2022, Beira's Place, a women-only assistance 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 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 understand that recognition is the last thing on the writer's mind however isn't it downright odd that, when he talks of the achievements of successful Scots, First Minister John Swinney never discusses the support Beira's Place has provided to numerous ladies?

Money is not the only thing women doing something about it to safeguard their rights need. Ask anyone who has been through the tribunal process and they'll inform you that the emotional assistance of buddies and allies is vital.

This comfort will not remain in short supply for those ladies who get backing for their cases from the JK Rowling Women's Fund. The author belongs to a worldwide network of advocates, battling to protect women's rights against the needs of trans activists, and calls to action and assistance do not go unheeded.

Let the nation's human resources departments brace themselves. A most remarkable plot twist has actually simply been composed.
