Presumably therapy that does not enforce gendered thinking or encourage the creation of an artificial identity would help a lot but it’s treated as a hate crime.

Imo therapists should be exploring what man/woman means to the presenting patient, and correcting gendered ideas like ‘I’m a woman because I do abc female coded things or dislike xyz male coded things’.

Even suggesting anything other than immediate drugs and surgery is basically treated by laypeople as the same as suggesting bloodletting and a beating because transgender people declared themselves experts above all researchers and medical professionals.

Or you could just "morally mandate it [the problem of transsexualism] out of existence"

I don’t understand how morals come into therapy? Is self acceptance immoral? Is teaching it immoral? Do you think therapy would eliminate dysphoria so effectively that there would be no more transgendered people, thus therapy is somehow eliminating transgendered people from the world?

I believe you misunderstood that quote, unless I did. I think what it means is if you make it immoral to point out a given problem, then it disappears. Of course, it hasn't disappeared at all, but that's the entire reason why we criticize that entire ideology where asking questions is deemed immoral.
