For years, now, women have been losing tasks after bold 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 revealing completely mainstream - and legal - views on sex and gender.
+
Inevitably, tribunals have actually followed a number of these cases. During these, we have actually heard terrible information of females dealt with abominably by employers in thrall to campaigners who advised and implemented the prohibited adoption of self-ID policies when it pertained to 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 spaces, from changing rooms to domestic violence refuges.
+
Equally inevitably, those ladies efficient in resisting have actually been winning legal actions.
+
But even a rock strong case does not make it simple to strike back. Good legal representatives are pricey and the process is draining, both physically and mentally.
+
For each female who has thrived in court, there are a lot more for whom introducing a legal case seemed difficult.
+
The facility by the author and benefactor JK Rowling of a fund to support ladies's legal security of their rights instantly removes any monetary barriers to action for those with feasible cases.
+
Author JK Rowling has actually established a fund to support females's legal protection of their rights
+
The intervention of Ms Rowling should, right now, be concentrating minds in personnels departments throughout the nation.
+
Since the Supreme Court ruled, last month, that sex, in law, referred biology instead of documentation, a number of organisations - in both the general public and personal sectors - have actually released statements announcing their [choices](https://twentyfiveseven.co.uk/mission/) to "consider" the ramifications for their policies.
+
This widespread 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 personal identity.
+
The law is the law and no additional consideration is required in order for employers 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 women are ladies" were possible thanks to the support of online crowd-funding projects. Ms Rowling frequently promoted - and contributed to - such fundraising events.
+
Now, she's a one-woman crowd-funder, ready to back the cases of every woman wronged at work for speaking the truth about sex.
+
The JK Rowling Women's Fund will change the battleground when it concerns women victimized for their genuine, reality-based views.
+
At the heart of commercial tribunals there might be susceptible people betting high stakes however the human expense suggests absolutely nothing to the insurance providers financing employers' costs. For them, it's everything 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 suspect, encourage numerous to prompt settlement rather than the embarrassment, and inescapable cost, of more doomed defences.
+
If one required proof that females's rights require the fiercest security, it can be found in the action to the launch of Ms Rowling's fund.
+
With delicious pathos, one activist attorney 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 fate motion".
+
Ms Rowling has never remained in the shadows when it concerns her views on women's rights, has she?
+
Other responses were, predictably, more violent in tone.
+
The continuous tribunal including nurse Sandie Peggie, declaring discrimination and harassment against [NHS](https://twentyfiveseven.co.uk/) Fife and trans-identifying doctor Beth Upton, brought the problem of the method so called "gender crucial" females had been treated at work to broad attention. This is a case that "cut through" with the public and required some political leaders to deal with an issue they chose to avoid.
+
Scottish Labour's leader Anas Sarwar and his deputy, Jackie Baillie, revealed their assistance for Ms Peggie and declared their belief in the value of biological sex.
+
If they 'd understood what they understand now, they included, they would not have voted in favour of the SNP's ultimately doomed strategy to permit anyone to self-identify into the legally-recognised sex of their choosing.
+
But while the Peggie case and the subsequent ruling on the legal meaning of sex by the Supreme Court might have required an embarrassing U-turn by the Labour leadership on the matter of biological reality, others stay stubbornly dedicated to defiance of the law.
+
Naturally, the Scottish Greens - a terrific Wodehousian satire of an advanced cell - remain dedicated to using single-sex areas by anybody who feels they come from that sex.
+
There have been recent declarations of resistance from trade unions, too. Unison has 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 pricey legal action in the making.
+
It must not have been necessary for JK Rowling to guarantee to underwrite the legal expenses of females discriminated against for their views on sex and gender. Nobody must ever have lost a task, a promo, or an agreement on the basis of their view that sex is immutable and essential.
+
Nor needs to the novelist have felt it essential to establish, in 2022, Beira's Place, a women-only assistance 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 females discriminated versus 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 understand that recognition is the last thing on the writer's mind however isn't it downright weird that, when he talks of the achievements of effective Scots, First Minister John Swinney never ever mentions the support Beira's Place has provided to numerous females?
+
Money is not the only thing women taking action to safeguard their rights require. Ask anybody who has been through the tribunal procedure and they'll tell you that the psychological assistance of friends and allies is necessary.
+
This comfort will not remain in short supply for those females who get backing for their cases from the JK Rowling Women's Fund. The writer is part of an international network of campaigners, fighting to protect women's rights against the needs of trans activists, and contacts us to action and assistance do not go unheeded.
+
Let the country's human resources departments brace themselves. A most exceptional plot twist has just been composed.
