Timeline

1949

"'Man is defined as a human being and a woman as a female.' Simone de Beauvoir wrote those words in 1949. And in journalism, they are still true. Marina, Rosamund, Mary and I have written about elections, war, Brexit, celebrity, poverty, refugees, sport... But whatever women columnists write, and however well we write it, our words are heard only in a minor key. A woman's voice. I would be letting down the many talented female human beings on British newspapers if I accepted this award."

Turner is known for her columns about transgender people, including "Children sacrificed to appease trans lobby", "The battle over gender has turned bloody", and "Trans rapists are a danger in women’s jails".

Helen Belcher, co-founder of Trans Media Watch, condemned Turner's columns, arguing that Turner painted trans people as "dangerous sex offenders" and claimed that the Times columns such as Turner's would lead to trans teen suicides.

Turner condemned Belcher's comments, calling them "Ghastly" and "libelous".

The Times defended Turner, writing that "Concerns of biological women must not be silenced".
