This was the basis for laws that once limited women's ability to own property, enter contracts, serve on juries, hold elected office, or vote. Patriarchal sex-based protections are what feminism exists to oppose. Rebranding it as rights doesn't change what it is.

The Keira Bell case exists to test the waters for legal limitations of AFAB people's rights, in the name of their protection. They started with minors (whose rights aren't the same as adults). But the next step would limiting transition for adults, in the name of protecting us.
