based on this article, it sounds like she suffered from actual gender dysphoria, and there was no treatment. So she likely turned to online hugboxes who repeatedly told her she was heckin valid and everyone who does not acknowledge her invisible penis was evil.
These people need actual treatment and counseling, not """validation""".
I don't think this will happen before some sort of social collapse, but a right wing psychology movement is the only thing that could provide hope for people like this. And by 'right wing' I mean grounded in realist thinking. I suspect that if the social sciences were not irrevocably left wing, we would have cognitive therapy coupled with modern pharmaceuticals the could fix or mitigate "the gay." I've always suspected that the kvetching about conversion therapy was based on the fear that the wrong sort of people were offering therapy. Troons are, of course, a creation on modern psychology.
