"We are committed to doing everything we can to make Scotland the best place to grow up for LGBTQI+ young people. This includes funding LGBT Youth Scotland to deliver a range of projects, such as the LGBT Charter programme," the spokesperson said, according to the Daily Mail.

"This work is particularly important at a time when we are seeing a rise in attacks against the LGBTQI+ community," they added.

Meanwhile, a prominent doctor in the UK, Dr. Hillary Cass, conducted a recent study that revealed the gender-identity movement has harmful effects on children, and that allowing children to change genders was built on weak foundations.

UK Prime Minister Rishi Sunak welcomed the report and urged the need for "extreme caution" when it comes to treating children who believe they may be transgender.
