The government of Peru signed a Supreme Decree this weekend defining transexuality as a mental disorder as part of an update to the nation’s Essential Health Insurance Plan (PEAS), prompting outrage from the LGBTQIAP2S+ community.
While the definition, according to the Peruvian government, seeks to give access to those identifying as transgender or other gender identities to health insurance coverage, the decree has been met with fierce backlash by local LGBTQIAP2S+ activists and politicians.
The PEAS is a minimum healthcare benefit plan that Peruvian citizens receive when enrolling in the nation’s public, private, or mixed health insurance providers. PEAS provides for the basic medical procedures a citizen needs and contains a detailed list of outpatient medical care, tests, specialized consultations, and other treatments that patients may be entitled to according to their particular health condition.
The controversial decree stated that, following a review of the diagnoses included in the World Health Organization’s (W.H.O.) 10th International Classification of Diseases (ICD-10) that are included in the country’s PEAS health program, the omission of “seven (07) ICD-10 diagnoses” related to mental health problems were found, which, according to the decree, “should be incorporated” into the nation’s healthcare plans taking into account Peru’s mental health laws.
As such, the decree defines transexualism, “dual role transvestism,” child gender identity disorder, “other gender identity disorders,” and “gender identity disorder, unspecified” as mental health problems in accordance with the definitions established by the W.H.O.’s ICD-10 manual.

Nom nom nom!
D**n it! Now I have to change my password. LOL
Ca.m down,,,it’s just calling a spade a spade.
Sucks to be them.
Let them outrage all they want.
I thought that last P2S+ was just a gay game console....
I do not know if it is a mental illness but they are totally NUTS.
Peru is correct - delusion is classified as a mental illness in psychology.
obvious mental issues
Oh no...Peru is not going to get gays to vacation there! They’ll be labeled Transphobic and Homophobic! 🤓
Why is it the Peru is so far ahead of us ,in common sense ?
Transphobic and Homophobic! 🤓
Iam and proud of it!
There once was a girl from Peru…..or was that Nantucket?
There are very few people who have bizarre sex chromosome variabilities like XXY, XYY, XYYY, XO,....to those unfortunate ones, I can understand their gender “confusion”.
To the rest of the normal XX, or XY (male, female) who believe they are other I would consider as delusional and/or stricken by FOMO and/or socially contagious Munchausen disorders, or socially naive followers.
I understand that in Japan, if you want to change your gender you must remove all of your birth genitalia. I would suggest one should also change all other sex related physiological differences, and TRANSPLANT the other sexual different parts..e.g.lots of prostatectomies and prostate transplants..or ovarian, uterine, vaginal, fallopian tube, testicular, penile, pelvis, brain transplants too. Let’s see the gender affirming “Dr.Frankenstein” surgeons do that.
That whole alphabet used to be in the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (DSM). Then the alphabet took control of the American Psychiatric Association (who produced the DSM) and they suddenly weren’t disorders anymore. The long march indeed.
Saying it’s NOT a mental illness is misinformation or disinformation or something…
If I had a dollar for every gender, I’d have 2 dollars. The rest would be counterfeit.
TRUTH!!!!!
That character string looks like what you get on a malfunctioning serial port ...
Ooo. I like that!
