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?
