Yeah, the problem is “do no harm”. To modify your body, a medical professional needs to be fixing something, i.e. you have an illness that needs treatment.
So… you are under the bizarre (and very wrong) impression that doctors in other countries only give gender-affirming care to people they have determined have an illness?
If the only way to help transgendered people is to call them mentally ill, maybe there’s a bigger problem you’re missing.

Because, as I said, you are very wrong.
It is not the only way, WHO provides a code “gender incongruence” that is a condition “related to sexual health”. Not a mental disorder. https://www.who.int/standards/classifications/frequently-asked-questions/gender-incongruence-and-transgender-health-in-the-icd
Fine. Then Peru should do that.
