I believe “gender dysphoria” is now known as “gender incongruence” and has been moved out of the mental health section of the ICD-11 and into the sexual health section. (Presumably to justify its treatment with hormones etc?)

What is the claimed lack of health, then?

The distress caused by gender incongruence, presumably. The move is designed to destigmatise gender incongruence and make it an entirely medical matter. I don’t agree with it, but there it is.

But the mental distress is not what is being treated, so the question stands.

No idea. Some seem to see it as a hormonal problem that deserves medicating (eg like menopausal women who choose to have hrt to relieve their symptoms).

Yes, this was planned: to "depathologize" gender dysphoria but still have a billing code. It's all about having a code to bill to so it's not seen as "cosmetic" and thus insurance won't pay. The battle to change GD to GI has been going on for a couple years, totally political.

Have seen many trans activists say "gender incongruence" is essentially a birth defect. Hormones and surgeries may be needed (but not required--only if the person wants them) to "correct" the birth defect. Medical necessity. It was a clever strategy and they succeeded.

ICD-11, forthcoming 2022? Gender Incongruence will be a Condition Related to Sexual Health. Presumably, "Conditions" will be paid for by insurance companies.

NHS is the equivalent of public insurance. It's a health care guarantee paid for by the citizens, via their taxes.
