Gender dysphoria:

Can be influenced by external factors such as society or other mental illnesses

Induces suicidal thought over being unable to live as the desired gender

Requires permanent, life-changing surgery and hormone therapy to "fix"

Severe regret over not going through puberty as the desired gender

Homosexuality:

Innate characteristic which cannot be changed or "fixed"

Has zero bearing on mental health on it's own

Yes. Clearly, these two things are in the exact same ballpark of "mental illness", and therefore it definitely makes sense to compare the two. I am curious: does he consider therapy to help people with gender dysphoria live and accept their sex, conversion therapy?

A lot of them do. Therapy that leads a person to feel content with their birth sex and to no longer desire transition "erases" a trans person from the community.

And now with anti-conversion therapy laws being retrofit to include therapy that helps a person be comfortable in their original body without operations, people will now be able to live their true lives as transpeople without hearing any opposition but instead empty affirmations.
