How does she reconcile that force transing pipeline with the part of British trans health care where you have to beg a doctor for a year straight before you get any treatment, and that's after spending years on a waitlist?

Through dishonesty.

My most optimistic hope with this is that it was just trying to set up some zero effort publicity stunts so that when a person on the list gets arrested for something they can feed it into the media and strengthen the echo chamber.

But honestly, it's ridiculous that that is considered both an optimistic take and honestly kind of a naive one.

This is the sort of thing that usually ends way, way worse than that. Even if the current intent is just a publicity stunt, and I doubt it is only that, sooner or later someone willing to go two or three steps further will end up in a position to use the list for what traditionally comes next.

The goal is fear and hesitation, it doesn't need to be technically enforceable.

Exactly. It's a parallel of the unenforceable/unconstitutional abortion restrictions; the point is to make a thing seem too risky and if someone actually moxies up and challenges in court, just pass similar legislation again once the original is struck down.
