The Green Party has gone into damage control mode over a flare up among members about the party's attitude to transgender rights.

An opinion piece in the party's newsletter has outraged some members, sparking resignations on both sides of the debate.

It was written by long standing party member and veteran feminist, Jill Abigail, and warned against allowing trans rights to encroach on women's rights. Political reporter Charlie Dreaver has the story.
