>Gender is not biologically structured

Bullshit. Gender is a product of a specific behavioral center in the brain being conditioned by the balance of test and estrogen in utero. That's why real transgender people exist: sometimes the balance swings them in the direction that opposed their chromosomes.

I took my PhD in a part of the country that was characteristically conservative politically and religiously. Mention of evolution was quite often more trouble than it was worth, which is an absolute shame. We didn't even mention Darwin (who seemed to be quite confident that natural selection would be applied to psychology "In the distant future I see open fields for far more important researches. Psychology will be based on a new foundation, that of the necessary acquirement of each mental power and capacity by gradation. Light will be thrown on the origin of man and his history." C. R. Darwin On the Origin of Species, 1859 p.488) who gave us the single strongest theory in the history of science because people don't like it.

Because they don't like it.

I would recommend Exiles from Eden and Evolutionary Psychiatry for the clinical application.

I would also say that EP does not claim that humans are genetic automatons. We have a range of behaviors that helped us navigate our world, but, that world has changed quite a lot in the last few centuries/millennia, far too fast for the brain to have caught of with it.

If you approach treatments from the EP perspective you might try not so much to "fix" the problem as to put a person in a situation that is closer to their comfort zone.

Of course I'm overgeneralizing here. For one I really can't give you an overview of the whole field in 150 words. And second, I'm not a clinician or therapist. Take a look at those books, I suspect it will help.
