JOANNA Cherry and the former leader of the Scottish Greens have called for the closure of a leading gender identity clinic for young people.

In a letter to national clinical director Jason Leitch, the SNP MP for Edinburgh South West and Robin Harper said Sandyford’s gender service was putting young people struggling with their gender identity or sexuality at “significant risk”.
