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.

The list keeps growing. Guinness book of world records for mental acronyms.

That extra alphabet soup is like twice the outrage!
That’s the first time I’ve seen that string of characters too.
Good for Peru...God forbid we should have such leadership here.
Isn’t anybody going to give PEAS a chance?
These liberal sure seem intolerant of others views and beliefs.
Well, it is a mental illness. What’s the problem?
Can someone recommend a good real estate agent in Peru?
They don't complain too much about the plight of the LGBTQIAP2S+ in middle eastern countries, or China, or Russia. Can't imagine why though.
Sometimes I drink for a good spell though.
The response proves the government’s point.
How many nations are we currently sanctioning?
