Unfortunately, while treating a person for mental illness is the right thing to do, it requires a lot of work over the course of a long period of time, success may be long in coming, and the fees for service may not be all that high for the amount of time invested. OTOH, mutilating a person can be done in a relatively short period of time and results in a huge payoff for the amount of time invested.
Giving them the surgery doesn't mean they won't still need the therapy.

Of course not. They may blame their problems on their gender, but getting mutilated doesn't equip them to deal with their problems. Only therapy can do that.
