This post on Reddit had gained 29,000 votes as of this writing, as well as 2,600 comments. The claim also spread on X, with users expressing outrage and support.
Looking closely at those claims, we found them to be true. On May 16, 2024, Peru's government sparked a backlash when its president, Dina Boluarte, ratified Supreme Decree 009-2024, which purported to expand access to mental health services for "transsexual" Peruvians.

Peru's authorities defended the decree, arguing that it was merely following a classification established by the World Health Organization (WHO) known as the International Classification of Diseases (ICD). They said they did so to allow for better health insurance coverage of mental health conditions related to gender identity, "fetishistic transvestism" and "egodystonic sexual orientation" (which means unhappiness with one's gender identity or sexual orientation paired with the desire to change it).
Decree 009-2024 lists by name the following "disorders," pulled from the ICD:
