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

Companies and public bodies, caught by the needs of extremist trans activists, have exacted terrible penalties on those revealing completely mainstream - and legal - views on sex and gender.

Inevitably, tribunals have followed a variety of these cases. During these, we have actually heard terrible information of females treated abominably by companies in thrall to campaigners who urged and implemented the prohibited adoption of self-ID policies when it pertained to single-sex spaces.

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

Equally inevitably, those ladies capable of fighting back have actually been winning legal actions.

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

For each lady who has actually thrived in court, there are numerous more for whom launching a legal case appeared difficult.

The establishment by the author and philanthropist JK Rowling of a fund to support women's legal protection of their rights right away removes any monetary barriers to action for those with practical cases.

Author JK Rowling has established a fund to support ladies's legal protection of their rights

The intervention of Ms Rowling should, right now, be focusing minds in human resources departments throughout the nation.

Since the Supreme Court ruled, last month, that sex, in law, was a matter of biology rather than paperwork, a number of organisations - in both the general public and economic sectors - have actually provided declarations revealing their choices to "consider" the ramifications for their policies.

This widespread and careless complacency stands to cost companies - and taxpayer-funded bodies - dear. The facts are easy. If a service is used on a single sex basis that implies biological sex, not individual identity.

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

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

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

The JK Rowling Women's Fund will change the battlefield when it comes to ladies victimized for their legitimate, reality-based views.

At the heart of industrial tribunals there might be vulnerable individuals betting high stakes but the human cost means absolutely nothing to the insurance providers underwriting employers' costs. For them, it's all about the bottom line and the prospect that every lady with a case now has access to the finest lawyers in business will, I suspect, encourage numerous to advise settlement rather than the humiliation, and inescapable expense, of more doomed defences.

If one needed proof that ladies's rights need the fiercest protection, it came in the action to the launch of Ms Rowling's fund.

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

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

Other actions 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 critical" women had been treated at work to wide attention. This is a case that "cut through" with the public and required some politicians to resolve a concern they preferred to avoid.

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

If they 'd known what they know now, they added, they would not have actually enacted favour of the SNP's ultimately doomed plan to allow anybody 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 may have required an embarrassing U-turn by the Labour leadership on the matter of biological reality, others devoted to defiance of the law.

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

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