I would imagine it was rightly seen as a mental issue. Just like today if my brother told me he feels he is a woman id look up a counselor to help him. A real one who accepts reality
In ancient times they would have executed them as sexual deviants. Treating it as a mental issue is pretty new in the scheme of things, and worshipping perverts is even newer. We didn't do things a certain way for thousands of years for no reason.
Some cultures probably just castrated them and sent them back to work or forced them into sex slavery. No need to kill a male whose body is still usable even if their mind is useless.
