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-Tristán, 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.
