For years, now, women have been losing tasks after bold to reveal the view that biology is real and crucial.

Companies and public bodies, caught by the needs of extremist trans activists, have exacted cruel 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 scary details of females dealt with abominably by companies in thrall to advocates who urged and enforced the prohibited adoption of self-ID policies when it concerned single-sex spaces.

We have actually become aware of women bullied and avoided for questioning the right of those born male to self-identify into females's areas, from changing rooms to domestic violence refuges.

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

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

For every single female who has triumphed in court, there are much more for whom introducing a legal case appeared impossible.

The establishment by the author and philanthropist JK Rowling of a fund to support women's legal security 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 women's legal security of their rights

The intervention of Ms Rowling should, right now, 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 documentation, a variety of organisations - in both the general public and economic sectors - have issued statements revealing their choices to "think about" the ramifications for their policies.

This extensive and careless complacency stands to cost companies - and taxpayer-funded bodies - dear. The facts are basic. If a service is provided on a single sex basis that suggests biological sex, not personal identity.

The law is the law and no additional factor to consider is required in order for employers to fulfill their obligations under it.

A variety of past legal actions after women were unjustly dismissed or bullied out of tasks for declining to agree with the mantra "trans women are ladies" were possible thanks to the support of online crowd-funding campaigns. Ms Rowling frequently promoted - and contributed to - such fundraisers.

Now, she's a one-woman crowd-funder, all set 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 battleground when it comes to females victimized for their genuine, reality-based views.

At the heart of industrial tribunals there might be susceptible people betting high stakes but the human cost suggests nothing to the insurance providers financing companies' expenses. 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 legal representatives in the company will, I suspect, encourage lots of to advise settlement instead of the humiliation, and unavoidable expense, of more doomed defences.

If one required evidence that females's rights require the fiercest defense, it can be found in the response to the launch of Ms Rowling's fund.

With tasty pathos, one activist lawyer declared online that the Harry Potter creator had "emerged from the shadows" as the funder of what he explained as the "anti feminist biology is destiny motion".

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

Other reactions were, naturally, more violent in tone.

The ongoing tribunal including nurse Sandie Peggie, claiming discrimination and harassment against NHS Fife and trans-identifying physician Beth Upton, brought the concern of the method so called "gender critical" females had actually been treated at work to broad attention. This is a case that "cut through" with the general public and forced some politicians to resolve a concern they chose to prevent.

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

If they 'd known what they know now, they added, 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 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 stay stubbornly devoted to defiance of the law.

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

There have actually been current 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 regional authorities and health boards - is another costly legal action in the making.

It must not have actually been needed for JK Rowling to guarantee to underwrite the legal expenses of ladies victimized for their views on sex and gender. Nobody should ever have lost a job, a promo, or a contract on the basis of their view that sex is immutable and crucial.

Nor must the author have actually felt it necessary 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 fund Beira's Place and to finance the legal costs of females discriminated against 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 political leaders.

I know that recognition is the last thing on the author's mind but isn't it downright strange that, when he broaches the accomplishments of successful Scots, First Minister John Swinney never ever points out the Place has offered to hundreds of 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 procedure and they'll tell you that the emotional support of friends and allies is important.

This convenience will not remain in short supply for those women who get backing for their cases from the JK Rowling Women's Fund. The author is part of a global network of campaigners, fighting to safeguard ladies's rights versus the demands of trans activists, and contacts us to action and assistance do not go unheeded.

Let the nation's personnels departments brace themselves. A most impressive plot twist has simply been written.
