Peru officially classifies trans people as ‘mentally ill’

https://pbs.twimg.com/media/GNnakv-X...jpg&name=small

The Peruvian government has officially categorised trans and intersex people as
“mentally ill”.

The health ministry said the decree was the only way Peru’s public health
services could “guarantee full coverage of medical attention for mental health”.

Under the decree signed by President Dina Boluarte, 'transsexualism, dual-
role transvestism, gender identity disorder in childhood, other gender identity
disorders and fetishistic transvestism' are now all recorded as mental
illnesses.

Peru's government argues the decree will make 'psychological treatment'
freely available to those affected and said it 'categorically reaffirms respect
for the dignity of the person and their free actions within the framework of
human rights, providing health services for their benefit'.

Body dysmorphia is a mental illness though, so why should any form of it be excluded from that?

I've been saying this for years..well done Peru.

Quite a read that article


“ Where its neighbours have grown more accepting, the South American nation has garnered a reputation for intolerance of transgenderism and LGBTQ.

In 2008, transgender woman Azul Rojas Marin was arrested, brutally raped and tortured by a trio of police officers, but her criminal complaint was ultimately closed by the authorities.”

“ Meanwhile in Argentina, three women were killed in an arson attack last week after a man lobbed a Molotov cocktail at the home of two lesbian couples in Buenos Aires.

The May 6 attack, widely seen as a hate crime, shocked many in a nation that considers itself to be a pioneer of gay rights in Latin America”

A 62-year-old man threw a Molotov cocktail into a boarding house where the lesbian couples lived, setting it ablaze, officials said. The perpetrator was arrested.

One woman died last Tuesday and another on Wednesday, both suffering from burn injuries.

'The third victim of the attack died this Sunday at 10 in the morning,' Maria Rachid of the LGBT+ Federation said this past weekend.

The fourth woman was the only one to escape with mild injuries.


But yay! Trans people are mentally ill!!

Yes 6 incidents from a population of 444,000,000

Oh and what Oliver said

How is the labelling used in any way relevant?

I don't think people with severe eating disorders should be abused either, but that doesn't mean I'd pretend they're mentally healthy.

Wow, Peru has expanded significantly in recent years?

The incidents listed don't all take place there and actually I'm not entirely sure why they are relevant or bolted onto to the article. I know the DM do that as a matter of course.

Let’s not pretend to be that facetious to believe there’s been only 6 incidents. I thought you were supposed to be intelligent. Maybe actually read these buzzword articles that you think push your troll agenda.

That does not make any sense tbh. Did you really mean to use "pretend to be facetious"?

Yeah that’s what I thought

Azul Rojas Marin was living as a gay man at the time of her rape at the hands of 3 officers. They must have been gay as well

The homophobe making excuses for a gay man being raped by 3 people.

Thankfully the tide is turning on this issue as medical science overtakes activists and bullying online

In addition to the Cass Review — which was published in April — a series of other
studies that were published this year call into question the efficacy of prescribing
transgender drugs for and offering transgender surgeries to children.


For example, a Mayo Clinic study from April found that puberty-blocking drugs may
cause irreversible damage to testicular cells in young boys. A study out of the
Netherlands that was published in February found that most children who have
transgender inclinations will outgrow those feelings. A third study out of Finland found
that transgender surgeries for minors do not reduce suicides in children and young
adults who struggle with their gender identity.

Medical science and research is winning this particular war

He is the definition of mentally ill.

Tbf the mental state behind people suffering with Body Dysmorphia is different to people that want to identify as Transgender.

Body Dysmorphia can come about from having an eating disorder for example.

How someone is thinking their body is "wrong" not a form of dysmorphia?

It is actually different, it's more or less the other way around. Body dysmorphia is people being unable to see what their body actually looks like objectively and believe themselves to be physically something they're not (I.e. people who are already underweight genuinely believing they look fat).

For trans people it's that they ARE aware of the objective reality of their body, but don't think it fits their subjective sense of self.

Fair, then I stand corrected on that count.

But whatever you call it, a rejection and denial of physical reality and the belief that one's body needs to be changed isn't the most mentally healthy thing ever.:laugh:

The sad thing is that dysphoria (the general symptom, which encapsulates all sorts of things not just gender) has been understood for a LONG time to be a symptom of depression. Unfortunately it now seems to have been "rebranded" as the cause of the depression rather than a symptom which - in most people - is for one likely to resolve once the root cause of the depression is resolved and also, more importantly, resolving the dysphoria does NOT resolve the root cause of depression, which is why trans people often experience a prolonged period of remission from depression/suicidal ideation after they transition, but ultimately after a few years relapse into depression. This is then misidentified as being "caused by people who don't accept trans people". It's an absolute mess of a situation.

lets read the replies...oh wait :think: there wont be any....

:bored:

LGBTQ people don’t kill themselves because they’re LGBTQ they kill themselves in response to bullying, discrimination, homophobia, depression, anxiety, substance abuse, violence, gender nonconformity, low self-esteem and societal and family rejection.

really, what study is that from?
