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

Companies and public bodies, caught by the demands of extremist trans activists, have actually exacted harsh penalties 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 horrifying details of women treated abominably by employers in thrall to advocates who prompted and imposed the prohibited adoption of self-ID policies when it came to single-sex areas.

We've heard of women bullied and avoided for questioning the right of those born male to self-identify into ladies's areas, from altering rooms to domestic violence refuges.

Equally inevitably, those females capable of resisting have actually been winning legal actions.

But even a rock solid case does not make it easy to retaliate. Good legal representatives are costly and the process is draining pipes, both physically and emotionally.

For every woman who has actually triumphed in court, there are many more for whom releasing a legal case appeared difficult.

The establishment by the author and benefactor JK Rowling of a fund to support ladies's legal protection of their rights immediately gets rid of any financial barriers to action for those with practical cases.

Author JK Rowling has actually 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 instead of documentation, a variety of organisations - in both the general public and private sectors - have actually provided statements announcing their choices to "think about" the implications for their policies.

This prevalent and careless complacency stands to cost companies - and taxpayer-funded bodies - dear. The truths 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 further factor to consider is needed in order for companies to meet their commitments under it.

A number of past legal actions after females were unfairly dismissed or bullied out of jobs for declining to concur with the mantra "trans women are females" were possible thanks to the assistance of online crowd-funding campaigns. Ms Rowling regularly promoted - and contributed to - such charity events.

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

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

At the heart of commercial tribunals there might be vulnerable individuals playing for high stakes but the human expense indicates nothing to the insurers 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 best lawyers in the company will, I think, encourage many to urge settlement instead of the humiliation, and inescapable expense, of more doomed defences.

If one needed evidence that ladies's rights require the fiercest security, 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 referred to as the "anti feminist biology is fate movement".

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

Other reactions were, naturally, more violent in tone.

The continuous tribunal involving nurse Sandie Peggie, claiming discrimination and harassment versus NHS Fife and trans-identifying doctor Beth Upton, brought the problem of the method so called "gender vital" women had actually been dealt with at work to wide attention. This is a case that "cut through" with the public and required some politicians to address a concern they chose to prevent.

Scottish Labour's leader Anas Sarwar and his deputy, Jackie Baillie, announced their support for Ms Peggie and stated 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 ultimately doomed plan to permit anybody to self-identify into the legally-recognised sex of their choosing.

But while the Peggie case and the subsequent judgment on the legal meaning of sex by the Supreme Court may have required an embarrassing U-turn by the Labour leadership on the matter of biological truth, others stay stubbornly devoted to defiance of the law.

Naturally, the Scottish Greens - a terrific Wodehousian satire of an advanced cell - stay dedicated to using single-sex areas by anyone who feels they belong to that sex.

There have actually been current declarations 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 ought to not have been required for JK Rowling to guarantee to finance the legal expenses of females discriminated against for their views on sex and gender. Nobody needs to ever have 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 felt it essential to establish, in 2022, Beira's Place, a women-only assistance service for victims of sexual violence in the Lothian area.

Ms Rowling's choices to money Beira's Place and to finance the legal expenses of women victimized for believing 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 recognition is the last thing on the writer's mind but isn't it downright weird that, when he talks of the achievements of successful Scots, First Minister John Swinney never discusses the assistance Beira's Place has offered to hundreds of ladies?

Money is not the only thing women doing something about it to safeguard their rights require. Ask anyone who has been through the tribunal procedure and they'll inform you that the emotional support of good friends and allies is vital.

This comfort will not be in short supply for those females who get support for their cases from the JK Rowling Women's Fund. The writer is part of a worldwide network of campaigners, combating to safeguard females's rights versus the needs 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.
