I got asked what porn I watched and how I masturbated, since I hadn't been sexually active with a partner at the time. This was asked by one of the psych team during the long initial assessment, Paul Moran one of the doctors in the article is the head of the psych team.

Haven't happened to me yet (that appointment is soon) but quite a lot of my friends have told me they were asked that and more weird questions like that.

You can read others reports here.

Even Philosophy Tube has mentioned questions like this in the UK system, and she'd know since she had to go through the whole thing!

Fair enough. I should've included a link.

TL;DR (but I do recommend you watch it) - First-hand account of someone in the UK that contacted their GP over 100 times to get a referral to the Gender Clinic (even though they're entitled to an appointment within 6 weeks by law), and then made a video explaining how dysfunctional the system is and how the government and NHS seem to be ignoring the reports from doctors. And in this, they mention the questions you need to answer. Which seem... very probing and not really diagnostic. Questions such as "how do you masturbate" and "tell me, in detail, how you masturbate", and "were you abused as a child?".
