You need a medical diagnosis to obtain a GRC, then you have a two year wait in which you have to live your life as the gender you identify as and intend to do so permanently.

I appreciate that you might have an issue with people living their life without the GRC, but you do realise it's a stipulation to do so? So if they don't, their application will not be granted. What are trans people to do?
What self respecting GP who wants to keep their job will say no?

and there are plenty countries where self ID is fully legal


Countries that allow self-identification of gender legally include:
1
Denmark: Allows legal gender change with a simple declaration.
1
Iceland: Fully recognizes non-binary gender.
1
Malta: Recognizes non-binary gender and has implemented depathologization.
1
Germany: Plans to make it easier for trans people to officially change their first name and gender.
1
Ireland
These countries have established laws that facilitate the recognition of gender identity without requiring extensive medical procedures.
