This is a tragic story although from the exert you've posted it looks it couldn't be avoided as she was aware that there was treatment available and still chose to kill herself. Counselling needs to be available though to help people come to terms with who they are, help them through what I imagine is a traumatic transition period and support them if people around them aren't supportive.

Having said that the population are very ill informed when it comes to trans people and it needs to be made quite clear that they are just men and women in the wrong body. This needs to start in school as the only time people normally see transegendered people are as characters of ridicule in TV programs and shemales in porn. If people realised why people go through a sex change people would be far more tolerant and it would also let people who are trans know they are not the only ones.
