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

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

Inevitably, tribunals have followed a variety of these cases. During these, we've heard scary information of women treated abominably by employers in thrall to campaigners who urged and implemented the prohibited adoption of self-ID policies when it concerned single-sex spaces.

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

Equally undoubtedly, those females efficient in battling back have actually been winning legal actions.

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

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

The facility by the author and philanthropist JK Rowling of a fund to support ladies's legal security of their rights instantly gets rid of any financial barriers to action for those with feasible cases.

Author JK Rowling has 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 economic sectors - have released declarations announcing their choices to "think about" the implications for their policies.

This prevalent and negligent complacency stands to cost business - and - dear. The realities are basic. If a service is used on a single sex basis that suggests biological sex, not individual identity.

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

A number of previous legal actions after women were unjustly dismissed or bullied out of jobs for refusing to agree with the mantra "trans women are females" were possible thanks to the assistance of online crowd-funding projects. 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 female mistreated at work for speaking the truth about sex.

The JK Rowling Women's Fund will transform the battlefield when it pertains to women victimized for their legitimate, reality-based views.

At the heart of industrial tribunals there might be vulnerable individuals playing for high stakes however the human cost implies nothing to the insurers underwriting employers' expenses. For them, it's all about the bottom line and the prospect that every woman with a case now has access to the best legal representatives in the company will, I presume, encourage numerous to advise settlement instead of the embarrassment, and unavoidable cost, of more doomed defences.

If one required proof that females's rights need the fiercest security, it was available in the response to the launch of Ms Rowling's fund.

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

Ms Rowling has never been in the shadows when it concerns her views on females's rights, has she?

Other reactions were, predictably, more violent in tone.

The ongoing tribunal involving nurse Sandie Peggie, declaring discrimination and harassment versus NHS Fife and trans-identifying medical professional Beth Upton, brought the issue of the way so called "gender crucial" ladies had been dealt with at work to large attention. This is a case that "cut through" with the general public and required some politicians to attend to a problem they preferred to avoid.

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

If they 'd known what they understand now, they included, they would not have actually enacted favour of the SNP's ultimately doomed strategy to enable anyone to self-identify into the legally-recognised sex of their picking.

But while the Peggie case and the subsequent judgment 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 dedicated to defiance of the law.

Naturally, the Scottish Greens - a terrific Wodehousian satire of a revolutionary cell - remain dedicated to the usage of single-sex spaces by anybody who feels they belong to that sex.

There have been recent declarations of resistance from trade unions, too. Unison has actually 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 pricey legal action in the making.

It needs to not have been essential for JK Rowling to ensure to underwrite the legal costs of women 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 important.

Nor needs to the novelist have felt it necessary 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 fund Beira's Place and to underwrite the legal costs of ladies victimized 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 politicians.

I know that recognition is the last thing on the writer's mind but isn't it downright unusual that, when he talks of the accomplishments of successful Scots, First Minister John Swinney never ever mentions the assistance Beira's Place has provided to numerous women?

Money is not the only thing ladies acting to safeguard their rights require. Ask anybody who has actually been through the tribunal process and they'll inform you that the psychological assistance of friends and allies is necessary.

This convenience will not be in brief supply for those ladies who receive support for their cases from the JK Rowling Women's Fund. The writer becomes part of a worldwide network of advocates, battling 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 amazing plot twist has simply been composed.
