In Jain terms, gender dysphoria can be understood as a karmic condition affecting the embodied mind-body state, not the true nature of the soul.

Jain philosophy says:

• The soul is neither male, female, nor body-based identity.
• Gendered embodiment and associated tendencies arise through karma and birth conditions.
• The inner reality of the jīva remains pure consciousness, even when the body and mind experience confusion, discomfort, or conflict.

Is it right to let it continue?

From a Jain view, the key is not to add violence, shame, or self-hatred. That would be contrary to ahiṃsā.

At the same time, Jainism would also advise not to become fully identified with the bodily condition or strengthen attachment to it. The right approach is:

• accept the present karmic state with equanimity
• reduce suffering as much as possible
• avoid harshness toward oneself or others
• remain anchored in the soul’s true nature
• practice right faith, right knowledge, and right conduct

So, in Jain terms, it is not about “supporting” or “suppressing” in an extreme way. It is about compassion, non-attachment, self-restraint, and minimizing harm.

If the experience causes deep distress, Jain compassion would not support ignoring that suffering. The dharmic response is to handle it with gentleness, truthfulness, and non-violence toward the self.
