Last summer �transgender woman� Dylan Mulvaney fled to Peru �to feel safe�
amid all the controversy surrounding him in the states.

Nearly a year later, Peru has officially classified transgender people as �mentally ill,� making the country not so �safe� anymore for Mulvaney.

�The health ministry said the decree was the only way Peru�s public health services could �guarantee full coverage of medical attention for mental health,'� according to The Telegraph.

The new law or decree will reportedly modify the language in the
Essentials Health Insurance Plan to denote that transgender and also
intersex people boast a mental disorder.

LGBT groups in Peru are outraged, to put it lightly:


�100 years after the decriminalization of homosexuality, the @Minsa_Peru
has no better idea than to include trans people in the category of mental illnesses. We demand and we will not rest until its repeal,� a translation
of the above tweet reads.

Percy Mayta-Trist�n, a medical researcher at Lima�s Scientific University
of the South, for her part argued that the new decree demonstrates a lack
of awareness about LGBT 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 labelling them as mentally ill opens the door to conversion therapy,� he
said.

Perhaps, but conversion therapy still remains illegal in Peru for the time being.

Meanwhile on social media, Peru�s new decree is being widely praised by American conservatives:

As noted earlier, Mulvaney caught a trip to Peru last summer and recorded
a video touting how �safe� he felt there.

�Surprise, I�m in Peru. And I�m at Machu Picchu. Isn�t this just so
beautiful? I�m here by myself. And I used to do a ton of solo traveling.
I�m telling you, it�s the best. If you could ever do a solo trip
somewhere, it�s such a good way to get to know yourself better. But I came
here to feel something, you know what I mean? And I definitely have. I�ve
done shaman ceremonies that were like 10 years worth of therapy. It was
wild,� he said.

�I�ve seen a lot of llamas. And the people here are so kind. I feel very
safe here. It�s a little sad that I had to leave my country to feel safe,
but that will get better eventually. And I�m dying for some Trader Joe�s
rolled chili lime chips. But other than that, I�m so content. Still
haven�t been kissed yet, but I�m holding out hope. And most of all, this
trip has me feeling like I�m my own best friend again. And that is the
best feeling in the world. and I hope you feel that way about yourself
too,� Mulvaney added.


Critics cast doubt on the claim that Mulvaney had somehow been unsafe in
the United States.

�Mulvaney attended the Them Now Awards 2023 in June in a very public
setting. Apparently, Mulvaney wasn�t that scared of their safety if going
out to major awards ceremonies and events was totally fine,� Outkick
noted.

Critics also questioned the wisdom of Mulvaney broadcasting a current
location to the entire world if he felt unsafe. And they accused him of
just seeking attention.

A year later, it now appears Peru is far less safe for him than America, a country where being transgender isn�t necessarily classified as a mental illness, particularly under the radical Biden regime.
