    1. Much more than a facepalm, ppl are full of hate. I can care less what trans and gay people do…they are humans and I have my own flaws and shit to deal with.

      Everyone matters even if a bigot tries to say otherwise

    2. I can’t make it a single day without someone telling me how much they respect Peru. This will crush them

      This is great news, now hopefully they will provide funding for the mental health support these people need

    4. Ah! So they’ve been diagnosed with gender dysphoria and appropriate hormonal and/or surgical interventions to correct their gender will be subsidized by the government.

      …Right?

    5. The Peruvian President Dina Boluarte is doing this to appeal to the older religious voters. Older people vote and they have some outdated, outmoded prejudiced opinions.

      I’m sure they’ll loose sleep over random people on the internet “losing respect” for them. Especially the once that have nothing to do with the country.

    7. Guys, look this up before posting. This was in May 2024. In July they “clarified” their stance saying that ith was NOT a mental health thing.

      So because they choose to say that a person born X gender choosing to identify as Y gender is a mental disorder, they are bad now?
      If it’s not a mental disorder, wtf is it?
      I’m not in anyway vilifying it, everyone should have the freedom to live their life the way they want, but it is the brain controlling everything afterall, so how are they wrong?
      It’s the actions they choose to make after this assumption that matter, limit freedom, etc WRONG PATH

    9. it’s very simple even if this true. their country their rules. your country your rules. nobody should go to arabs and say lgbt should be allowed and the moslems shouldnt go to america and china and ask where the mosques and halal foods are. mind your own business is the best practice. what people say, wear, eat, do or not do isnt everybody’s business.

    10. There is nothing wrong with mental illness. I thought it is considered body dysmorphia. If I’m wrong I’ll 100% admit I’m wrong. I’m not trying to be offensive

    11. Why does it feel like a repeat of the Swedish “gay is a sickness” story, where everybody called in sick and said that they “got the gay” like if it was the common cold.

      I am sure that this was much more complicated than this meme made out. Was it something to do with the rules governing access to the health service? From memory if there is “nothing” wrong with someone then they couldn’t receive treatment under the universal healthcare service. So in order to provide healthcare services to trans people gender dysphoria was designated a mental health condition. People complained that this made their identity sound like an illness and a different solution was found.

      Just the fact that the Peruvian government is trying to provide universal healthcare puts it ahead of the US in many ways. Also no one seems to have mentioned that in the US people sometimes have to be diagnosed with gender dysphoria (it’s designated a mental health condition) to receive treatment which is essentially exactly the same as what this meme is criticising.

    13. Decision announced in May 2024, reversed in June 2024 following a backlash.

      This post is clickbait.

      Well people on Facebook will be like “I’m moving to Peru” or “Peru all the way!”
