I mean you can pick a different less offensive word than illness if you'd like, but if gender dysphoria is caused by some brain function that isnt normal than something is wrong with the brain. Doesn't mean it's a bad thing or requires treatment. Also, doesnt mean people that have it shouldnt have their preferred pronouns respected or be treated as lesser individuals.

No. Deviation is something that's different. Different things are not necessarily wrong. A mental illness is something that hinders people in functioning in their daily lives and they suffer from it. That is a fundamental difference.
According to wikipedia:
A mental disorder, also called a mental illness or psychiatric disorder, is a behavioral or mental pattern that causes significant distress or impairment of personal functioning.
