Peru Decrees ‘Trans’ Individuals Be Classified as Mentally Ill

This socially conservative country is where gender-confused Dylan Mulvaney went to find safe haven for a spell.

Peru, home of Machu Picchu and the Incas, has just classified transgenderism, identifying as nonbinary, or claiming intersex status, as a mental illness. This decree was signed on Friday, May 10, by President Dina Boluarte. The reasons, according to the Peruvian health ministry, are to ensure full medical coverage for this community.

The Peruvian government came to this conclusion based on the Mental and Behavioral Disorders chapters of the World Health Organization’s International Classification of Diseases (ICD), which still correctly maintains that gender identity disorder is a mental illness. Today’s social contagion aspects of transgenderism for women and autogynephilia-tinged transgenderism for men still fall under that category, though the original disorder generally afflicted only males and had a very early onset in young childhood.

Despite what could be considered a “win” for the gender-confused — full medical coverage by insurance — the trans activists in Peru are not having it. Jheinser Pacaya, director of Outfest Peru, declared: “100 years after the decriminalization of homosexuality, the [government] has no better idea than to include trans people in the category of mental illnesses. We demand and we will not rest until its repeal.” Perhaps being told that they are mentally ill hurts their pride.

Peru has been called socially “super conservative” by critics of this decree.

Ironically enough, Peru was the place chosen by Dylan Mulvaney — TikTok celebrity and gender-confused activist — as a safe haven retreat last year. Mulvaney had a series of ad partnerships with various companies. The one that finally caused Americans to say “Enough — your brand is something we are not interested in” was his partnership with Bud Light.

Mulvaney later disclosed that he felt betrayed by Anheuser-Busch for not standing by him amidst the backlash. This is ironic, considering that the whole reason that the Bud Light boycott is continuing is because the company is refusing to meaningfully apologize to its customer base for using Mulvaney as a sponsor. Mulvaney also said this of his critics: “It’s so sad because everything I try to put out is positive. It’s trying to connect with others that maybe don’t understand me. It’s to make people laugh, or to make a kid feel seen.”

Mulvaney is a consummate victim and a disingenuous one to boot. This past March, he released a single in which he once again displayed his contempt for women. This self-proclaimed “bimbo” wants to make kids feel seen by distilling womanhood to “walks of shame,” “retail therapy,” and “breakdowns in the bath.” He also calls this “girlhood,” which is extra disturbing if he means a minor. He isn’t a great role model or mentally healthy.

Now Peru has classified transgenderism as a mental illness. Coincidence?
