"All else fails" implies a serious lack of "all else".
Trans-treated people are infamously, as per the meme, the 43%ers. But body dismophia concerning genitals clears up in over 95% of cases on its own, if it is not left to be indulged in. Which implies there are several solutions better than the current treatment, if "nothing at all" has a better success rate (defining "success" as "not suiciding", in this instance).
And that's just minor "elses". There's much more major "elses" that can be done: The religious zealots can be made atheist. The communist zealots can be made apolitical. The sexual zealots can be made asexual. "All else" is a very strong and powerful category that we do not like to engage in, and instead, let tragedy happen in the name of freedom. That's not "all else fails", it's "necessary evil", and even then, a contentious definition of evil.
