EUAN McCOLM: in Praise Of JK Rowling
작성일작성일: 2025-06-16 23:48
For many years, now, females have been losing jobs after daring to reveal the view that biology is genuine and essential.
Companies and public bodies, recorded by the needs of extremist trans activists, have actually exacted cruel penalties on those expressing completely mainstream - and legal - views on sex and gender.
Inevitably, tribunals have actually followed a variety of these cases. During these, we have actually heard terrible information of women treated abominably by employers in thrall to campaigners who advised and enforced the unlawful adoption of self-ID policies when it pertained to single-sex spaces.
We've heard of females bullied and shunned for questioning the right of those born male to self-identify into ladies's spaces, from altering rooms to domestic violence refuges.
Equally inevitably, those women capable of fighting back have been winning legal actions.
But even a rock strong case does not make it simple to strike back. Good lawyers are costly and the process is draining pipes, both physically and emotionally.
For every single lady who has triumphed in court, there are a lot more for whom launching a legal case appeared difficult.
The facility by the author and benefactor JK Rowling of a fund to support ladies's legal protection of their rights instantly removes any financial barriers to action for those with feasible cases.
Author JK Rowling has established a fund to support females's legal defense of their rights
The intervention of Ms Rowling should, today, be concentrating minds in personnels departments throughout the country.
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 private sectors - have actually released statements announcing their choices to "think about" the implications for their policies.
This extensive and careless 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 indicates biological sex, not individuality.
The law is the law and no more factor to consider is required in order for employers to satisfy their obligations under it.
A number of previous legal actions after women were unfairly dismissed or bullied out of jobs for refusing to concur with the mantra "trans women are females" were possible thanks to the assistance of online crowd-funding campaigns. Ms Rowling regularly promoted - and contributed to - such fundraising events.
Now, she's a one-woman crowd-funder, all set to back the cases of every female wronged at work for speaking the truth about sex.
The JK Rowling Women's Fund will transform the battlefield when it comes to women victimized for their legitimate, reality-based views.
At the heart of commercial tribunals there might be susceptible individuals playing for high stakes but the human cost implies nothing to the insurers underwriting companies' expenses. For them, it's everything about the bottom line and the prospect that every woman with a case now has access to the very best legal representatives in will, I believe, encourage lots of to urge settlement rather than the embarrassment, and unavoidable cost, of more doomed defences.
If one required proof that females's rights require the fiercest defense, it was available in the response to the launch of Ms Rowling's fund.
With scrumptious pathos, one activist attorney stated online that the Harry Potter developer had "emerged from the shadows" as the funder of what he referred to as the "anti feminist biology is fate movement".
Ms Rowling has never been in the shadows when it concerns her views on women's rights, has she?
Other reactions were, predictably, more violent in tone.
The ongoing tribunal including nurse Sandie Peggie, declaring discrimination and harassment against NHS Fife and trans-identifying physician Beth Upton, brought the issue of the way so called "gender critical" women 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 attend to an issue they chose to avoid.
Scottish Labour's leader Anas Sarwar and his deputy, Jackie Baillie, announced their assistance for Ms Peggie and stated their belief in the importance of biological sex.
If they 'd known what they know now, they included, they would not have actually voted in favour of the SNP's eventually doomed plan to enable anyone to self-identify into the legally-recognised sex of their picking.
