Remember that the key difference between eccentricity and mental illness is ability to function effectively. A person suffering from GID is usually no longer suffering from it once they align their outward gender identity with their inner one.
ah, no.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gender_dysphoria
GID is anyone who is distressed/modifies behavior to emulate the opposite sex (from his/her assigned sex @ birth)
So ALL Transsexuals get classified as suffering from GID
From your link:
The American Psychiatric Association, publisher of the DSM-5, states that "gender nonconformity is not in itself a mental disorder. The critical element of gender dysphoria is the presence of clinically significant distress associated with the condition."[10]
The current main psychiatric approaches to treatment for persons diagnosed with GID are psychotherapy or to support the individual's preferred gender through hormone therapy, gender expression and role, or surgery
