Peru to Stop Labeling Transgender Identities as Mental Disorders, Use 'Gender Discordance'
Jun 25, 2024, 06:55 PM
Peru's Health Ministry announced on Tuesday that it will no longer classify transgender identities as mental disorders. This decision follows protests in Lima against a law that labeled transgender individuals and 'cross dressers' as mentally ill.

The move aims to address the backlash and criticism from various groups who opposed the previous classification.
