Peruvian Update

Gateway Pundit posts the following story, first appearing in The Telegraph (U.K., behind paywall). The conservative government of Peru has enacted interesting legislation.

A new decree, signed by President Dina Boluarte, has officially classified transsexualism, nonbinary, and intersex conditions as “mental illnesses.”

It further includes “dual-role transvestism, fetishist transvestism, egodystonic sexual orientation, and other gender identity disorders” in the same category. This groundbreaking decision by the Peruvian health ministry is seen by many as a bold affirmation of biological truths and a commitment to providing appropriate mental health care.

I can imagine this will cause heads to explode in some sectors of the US. Others will view it as entirely appropriate but, fearing accusations of harboring this or that unfashionable phobia, will likely keep those views to themselves.
