The ancient Taoist masters would have found gender dysphoria to be a natural state, and therefore wouldn't have found it to be something needing to be changed for themselves. They wouldn't have been bothered if others decided to change themselves. They simply wouldn't have cared in the slightest.

Literally no one on this thread, nor the original post is claiming that meditation cures dysphoria. I even pointed out in the first paragraphs that hormone treatment and surgery is the accepted cure by the medical community's consensus, and that this is what I would do about it for myself. The only point being made is that an enlightened Taoist master of ancient times wouldn't have cared about this issue. They didn't claim that they used meditation, either, to deal with the issues mentioned. In fact, there's not much meditation mentioned in Chuang Tzu, at all, and never as a promised cure for discomfort with the configuration of one's physical body.
