Self-ID without any kind of medical diagnosis is not a legal option in the UK, though.

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?
