Gender dysphoria is a mental illness which, like many mental illnesses, can be treated with medical and pharmacological interventions.

Aspberger's or autism are not excuses that allow one to broadcast hateful speech. There are a number of other mental conditions that may have caused those people to feel that way.  Schizophrenia for one.  But society is not a suicide pact.  The law can't always punish antisocial speech, but private actors can and in some cases must, for the health of society as a whole.

Whoever broadcast that message needs to have their life temporarily and publicly ruined, or else the message will spread.  They can be reintegrated into society when they recant.
