## Peru classifies trans people as 'mentally ill'

Authored by thepinknews.com

Trans, non-binary, and intersex people in Peru are now classified as “mentally ill” following a decree from the government’s health ministry.

The decree, signed by Peruvian president Dina Boluarte, defines “transsexualism” and “gender identity disorder in children” as mental illnesses.

It also categorises “dual-role transvestitism,” “fetishistic transvestism,” and “other gender identity disorders” under the same bracket of mental illness.

The decree will change language in the Essential Health Insurance Plan (PEAS) to reflect the view of trans and intersex people as a mental health disorder.

Trans groups across Peru have loudly condemned the decision as a step backwards for the country’s already complex relationship with LGBTQ+ rights.

Jheinser Pacaya, director of OutfestPeru, said in a statement posted on X/Twitter that Peru’s trans community will not rest until the decree is repealed.

He continued that the government has “nothing better to do” than to attack trans people with the decree, adding that it comes over 100 years following the decriminalisation of homosexuality in Peru in 1924. »

### Saints Row Reboot Sales Have Exceeded 1.7M Copies, Less Than Half of Saints Row 3

Authored by twistedvoxel.com

Sales of Deep Silver and Volition’s Saints Row reboot have now exceeded 1.7 million copies, which is less than half of the number of copies sold by Saints Row 3.

While 1.7 million copies is no small figure, sales of the Saints Row Reboot do not fare well in comparison to other titles in the series.

However, the franchise’s growth saw a dramatic decline with the release of the 2022 reboot, which likely sold less than the original Saints Row, Saints Row 2, and Saints Row 3. »

### "Trump derangement syndrome": Hush-money trial suggests it was MAGA projection all along

Authored by salon.com

Back then, as Cohen detailed, there was no demand too outrageous from Trump that Cohen wouldn't try to fill.

He enjoyed being a "fixer," which seemed a lot more daring and romantic than being a boring old lawyer.

Even the most embarrassing member of #Resistance Twitter seems even-keeled next to any random person pulled from a MAGA rally. »
