The Peruvian government has officially classified transgender, nonbinary and intersex people as “mentally ill.”
The controversial decision was made to ensure the country’s public health services could “guarantee full coverage of medical attention for mental health” for the trans community, the Peruvian health ministry explained, according to the Telegraph.
The decree will supposedly alter the language in the Essentials Health Insurance Plan to reflect that trans and intersex people have a mental disorder, LGBTQ+ outlet Pink News reported.

Despite the change, trans and other LGBTQ+ people will not be forced to undergo conversion therapies, the health ministry insisted in a statement issued on Friday, the outlet reported.

LGBTQ+ activist groups across Peru, however, slammed the decision as a major step backward in the fight for their rights and safety.
“100 years after the decriminalization of homosexuality, the @Minsa_Peru has nothing better to do than to include trans people in the category of mental illnesses,” Jheinser Pacaya, director of OutfestPeru, wrote on X.

“We demand and we will not rest until its repeal,” they added.

Percy Mayta-Tristán, a medical researcher at Lima’s Scientific University of the South, told the Telegraph that the decision showed a lack of awareness around the complexity of LGBTQ+ issues.
“You can’t ignore the context that this is happening in a super-conservative society, where the LGBT community has no rights and where labeling them as mentally ill opens the door to conversion therapy,” he explained.
 
“Neighbors just watched” - of course.

Has this person been strung up yet, strapped to chair, had arm injected with toxin to remove it from said planet? Why not
He should be toast. It's certainly all on film and there's nothing to debate about whether he's guilty or not.

That should always get you a quickly expedited trip to the gallows.

Well, yeah. How else would you classify them?

They're just normal people. In fact, they're better than normal. They are superior. They should be in all positions of power to lead us all to a better world.

Teacher Fired after Refusing to Use Preferred Pronouns Wins $360,000 Settlement​

A former high school teacher who was terminated for refusing to use students’ preferred pronouns has received a $360,000 settlement from the Jurupa Unified School District of California.

The lawsuit, filed in May 2023 by Advocates for Faith and Freedom, stemmed from the dismissal of the gym teacher at the time, Jessica Tapia, who refused to comply with the school district’s requirements in 2022.

It cited Tapia’s religious beliefs as her reason for not using preferred pronouns to cater to students’ gender identity.
 
This is so sad. Poisoning these young women...

Transgender men suffer from 'postmenopausal bladder and bowel symptoms because of taking testosterone, a study has found.

Researchers found that of the 68 transgender men who participated in the study, 95 per cent developed pelvic floor dysfunction after taking the hormone to transition from female to male, the Telegraph reports.

The study identified bladder and bowel problems like incontinence in the participants as young as 18 and with an average age of 28. Doctors would usually expect such symptoms in a 'postmenopausal' woman.

Urinary incontinence, having to go to the toilet often as well as bed-wetting affected 87 per cent of the participants, while bowel issues like constipation affected 74 per cent.

Around one in four of the transgender men suffered from incontinence - which is three times higher than the rate in women.

Other bladder and bowel issues the trans men in the study experienced included often having to urinate during the night, struggling to pass stool as well as burning when passing urine.

Sexual dysfunction affected 53 per cent of participants and nearly half of them also experienced pain during sex.

The effect of sex-changing drugs on bodily functions was 'under-researched and under-reported', as experts warned that sex changing drugs could put young people on 'exactly the same trajectory' as those in menopause, according to the Telegraph.

Pelvic health physiotherapist Elaine Miller told the newspaper that women often 'start to get leaky' in menopause and that female people who take testosterone could find themselves with the same issues.


She urged that there should be more research as it impacts many people, who she said were impacted in their professional and personal lives because of wetting themselves.

'The impact a bit of leaking has on these young people's lives is huge,' she told the Telegraph.

'It really needs to be properly discussed within gender clinics because I would expect that almost 100 per cent of female people that take cross-sex hormones will end up with these problems.'

The menopause causes those going through it to lose muscle mass and body strength, which in turn can weaken their pelvic floor and cause incontinence.

Testosterone can potentially accelerate the menopause by stopping the ovaries from functioning. The ovaries produce oestrogen, which can help the prevention of health conditions like dementia, osteoporosis and coronary heart disease.

While testosterone has been linked to hair and muscle mass loss, its impact on the pelvic floor and incontinence has not been widely researched.

The researchers behind the study, from the Federal University of Pernambuco, Brazil, said the results showed that participants frequently had at least one of the pelvic floor dysfunction symptoms.
