LGBTIQ+ activists march against decree describing transsexuality as ‘mental disorder’


Lima (AFP) – LGBTQ+ groups call a protest outside Peru’s Ministry of Health, in the capital Lima, against a new government decree listing transsexualism as a “mental disorder.” The government on May 10 updated its list of insurable health conditions — which since 2021 has offered benefits for mental health treatment — to include services for transgender people.
