if changing her body allows her to find the true spirit, why not support it?

If I believed this were possible, I would without reservation. But the fact is that this is a direction only someone who were desperately confused and in danger would walk in, and the effects are irreversible. Not to say that it's impossible for it to be one of many trials on a path to enlightenment -- only that it's a trial from which only bad things including death can result. The only good that could possibly come of it is realizing what a fool's errand it is and surviving.

If she fulfills this desire and finds the emptiness still there then she has still taken another step on the journey and can move on to the next.

This is the scenario I wish were guaranteed to play out.
Transitioning isn't something you can just do and undo. The sky-high suicide rate on postop trannies isn't indicative of a good proportion of people surviving that trauma and journeying further toward the light. This is an irreversible step, and distinct from legitimate methods of pursuing happiness in that regard.
