Distress is something clinical psychologists look for in every diagnosis, perhaps with the exception of manic episodes. If there is no personal distress they look for some interruption of work or social life. Secondly, distress does not require you to be psychologically crippled. How much subjective distress is needed for a diagnosis could be as minimal as the feeling of incongruence itself.
Where I think you are incorrect is in treating Gender Dysphoria as synonymous with distress.
