Oh lord, here we go.

"Does Mutsuki even suffer from GID?"

Mutsuki explictly states that he has long experienced discomfort/distress related to his birth sex, and explicitly states he does not know the reason for these feelings. He asks to address these feelings by living as a man. - Key traits of GID.

Honestly, the most likely explanation is simple. Japanese law requires a sex change for the Family Registry and legal documentation regarding sex to be changed. Medical standards concerning sex changes require that the individual patient be the Age of Majority prior to beginning treatment of any kind. The Age of Majority in Japan is 20, so 19-year old Mutsuki is not yet elligible for it.

Ergo, Mutsuki has transitioned in that he is living as a man but is legally inelligible for medical procedures or having his official records changed.
