Peru: decree names transexualism and transvestism as "mental pathologies"

[Red Velvet]

Not surprising, Peru is one of the most socially conservative countries in South America and this is something I could see the Brazilian Bolsonarist far-right supporting.

Funny how international observers never get why a more “conservative left” exists in countries that are more conservative. The gringo takes about Pedro Castillo were one of the most awful I’ve read, as if the mold for the entire left everywhere necessarily was the Western European progressive model.

I know current president is a blandish type of conservative, but my point is that it doesn’t sound like progressive politicians have much space in Peru. Hell, even here in Brazil they don’t, being limited mostly to educated urban centers. In Peru not even Lima tbh.
