The government of President Dina Boluarte, through the Ministry of Health (Minsa), issued Supreme Decree No. 009-2024-SA, which classifies trans, transvestites and other gender identities as “pathologies”. This decree incorporates the ICD-10 (International Classification of Diseases) document, but in its outdated version from the 1990s, which causes gender identities to be referred to as diseases. This puts the LGBTIQ+ population at risk, and makes them vulnerable to forms of torture and degradation with supposed “therapies” or conversion practices.

Well, the peruvian Congress leans socially conservative (somehow more than the average population), so this likely is a move to appease them.
Congress recently passed an "anti-incluse lenguage" (ellxs, latinx, you know) bill.

I’m just shocked that this was the same person on a ticket with Castillo a few years back.

Not like Castillo was a social progressive

I didn´t go to the protest.
I should had too, it has been very calmy, with various old cis women...
Hopefully I will go to the Pride Parade the next month.

TERFism is a mental pathology, I know that much.

Not sure, but TERF do are weird.
