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

Companies and public bodies, caught by the demands of extremist trans activists, have actually exacted harsh punishments on those revealing completely 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 ladies treated abominably by employers in thrall to campaigners who prompted and implemented the unlawful adoption of self-ID policies when it pertained to single-sex areas.

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

Equally inevitably, those women capable of combating back have been winning legal actions.

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

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

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

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

The intervention of Ms Rowling should, today, be concentrating minds in human resources departments throughout the country.

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 public and economic sectors - have actually provided statements announcing their choices to "consider" the ramifications for their policies.

This extensive and reckless complacency stands to cost companies - and taxpayer-funded bodies - dear. The facts are simple. If a service is provided on a single sex basis that implies biological sex, not individuality.

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

A variety of previous legal actions after women were unjustly dismissed or bullied out of jobs for refusing to agree with the mantra "trans ladies are females" were possible thanks to the support of online crowd-funding projects. Ms Rowling regularly promoted - and donated to - such fundraisers.

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

The JK Rowling Women's Fund will transform the battlefield when it concerns women discriminated versus for their legitimate, reality-based views.

At the heart of commercial tribunals there might be vulnerable people betting high stakes but the human expense suggests absolutely nothing to the insurance companies financing companies' costs. For them, it's all about the bottom line and the prospect that every lady with a case now has access to the very best attorneys in business will, I presume, encourage lots of to prompt settlement rather than the humiliation, and inescapable expense, of more doomed defences.

If one required evidence that women's rights need the fiercest protection, it came in the response to the launch of Ms Rowling's fund.

With scrumptious pathos, one activist attorney 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 movement".

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

Other actions were, naturally, more violent in tone.

The ongoing tribunal including nurse Sandie Peggie, declaring discrimination and harassment versus NHS Fife and trans-identifying medical professional Beth Upton, brought the concern of the way so called "gender crucial" ladies had been dealt with at work to wide attention. This is a case that "cut through" with the public and required some political leaders to address a concern they preferred 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 significance of biological sex.

If they 'd known what they understand now, they added, they would not have voted in favour of the SNP's eventually doomed plan to enable 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 required a humiliating 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 - an excellent Wodehousian satire of an innovative cell - stay dedicated to the use of single-sex areas by anyone who feels they come from that sex.

There have actually been recent statements of resistance from trade unions, too. Unison has allowed a trans lady 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 regional authorities and health boards - is another costly legal action in the making.

It must not have actually been required for JK Rowling to guarantee to underwrite the legal expenses of women discriminated versus for their views on sex and gender. Nobody ought to ever have lost a job, a promo, or an agreement on the basis of their view that sex is immutable and crucial.

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

Ms Rowling's decisions to money Beira's Place and to finance the legal expenses of ladies victimized for thinking 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 understand that recognition is the last thing on the author's mind but isn't it downright odd that, when he broaches the accomplishments of successful Scots, First Minister John Swinney never ever points out the assistance Beira's Place has offered to numerous females?

Money is not the only thing women acting to protect their rights need. Ask anybody who has been through the tribunal process and they'll inform you that the emotional support of pals and allies is vital.
