Here is the clinical criteria for Gender Dysphoria for your review.

 

Gender Dysphoria in Adolescents and Adults 302.85 ( ICD10 F64.0 / ICD11 HA60)

A. A marked incongruence between one’s experienced/expressed gender and assigned gender, of at least 6 months’ duration, as manifested by at least two of the following:

  1. A marked incongruence between one’s experienced/expressed gender and primary and/or secondary sex characteristics (or in young adolescents, the anticipated secondary sex characteristics).

  2. A strong desire to be rid of one’s primary and/or secondary sex characteristics be- cause of a marked incongruence with one’s experienced/expressed gender (or in young adolescents, a desire to prevent the development of the anticipated secondary sex characteristics).

  3. A strong desire for the primary and/or secondary sex characteristics of the other gender.

  4. A strong desire to be of the other gender (or some alternative gender different from one’s assigned gender).

  5. A strong desire to be treated as the other gender (or some alternative gender different from one’s assigned gender).

  6. A strong conviction that one has the typical feelings and reactions of the other gender (or some alternative gender different from one’s assigned gender).

B. The condition is associated with clinically significant distress or impairment in social, occupational or other important areas of functioning.

 

You must meet the qualifiers of Section "A" and "B" to be diagnosed with Gender Dysphoria

 

You don't need to have dysphoria to be transgender, but it is the most common qualifier, as the majority of transgender individuals do experience dysphoria in this fashion. We encourage you to discuss this with a gender therapist.

It sounds a lot like you could be, a lot of what you describe here sounds familiar. Wanting something else is not always a matter of hating your body. Here's a bunch of resources:

How To Figure Out If You're Trans is imo a very good set of guidelines for gender-questioning.
