Campaigning body Uplift has said at least 1,000 of its members have directly contacted RTÉ over the recent Liveline programmes relating to trans issues.

Uplift said it had broken with its usual pattern of petitioning on issues to appeal to its 336,000 members to complain directly to the national broadcaster in light of the Liveline controversy.
