Peru officially classifies trans as ‘mentally ill’

According to the health ministry, this classification is necessary to ensure comprehensive mental health care coverage.

However, this decision has sparked outrage in a society where gender and LGBT rights have been increasingly under attack, leading to high levels of homophobia, transphobia, and gender-based violence.

Recent legislative actions, such as banning references to gender equality in school textbooks, have further exacerbated the situation, The Telegraph has reported.
