Rep. Robert Garcia calls out Peru for classifying trans, intersex & nonbinary people as mentally ill
Briefly

Instead of working on real problems, this extreme measure moves Peru backward. I'll be working directly with the State Department to push back on this direct attack on LGBTQ+ Peruvians.
The decree references 'ego-dystonic sexual orientation' and terms such as 'transsexualism' and 'gender identity disorder in childhood.' Critics argue the decree perpetuates harmful stereotypes and could legitimize 'conversion practices,' worsening mental health issues for LGBTQ+ communities.
