99.9% chance the MtF caught wind of the single sex request and specifically inserted himself into the situation.

It very much sounds like that. She was having an intimate examination, where the door should be closed. Yet this bloke sticks his head in unprompted and causes a scene? The whole thing smells of a set-up. I honestly think it could backfire on them though, since intimate care is one of the few situations that the EHRC felt the need to highlight as an acceptable reason to actually separate by sex.

They are perpetually obsessed with finding specific cases where they know they aren't welcome and trying to get in so they can cry about phobias. They almost always get their way, which is why they HATE "terfs" so much. It was one of the extremely rare cases where they didn't get their way... But now that term has lost all meaning because they call anyone who disagrees with them in the most minor ways possible a "terf".
