1worryG, are you your granddaughter's guardian or are her parents taking her to this therapist? If you are not her guardian, you'll have to somehow convince her parents to fire this therapist and find another. If your granddaughter is a legal adult age 18 or older (in the USA, not sure what age of majority is in other countries) then there is not much you can do but try to appeal to your granddaughter personally.
However, if you are your granddaughter's legal guardian, then you can fire the therapist for any reason or no reason at all. If you are the legal guardian, you have control over what therapist you take your granddaughter to (or what therapist you do not take her to). If you are able to fire this therapist and begin looking for another, as a general rule avoid "gender" therapists or anyone who is a transperson, as they typically move their patients toward transition rather quickly (as you have witnessed with the push to put your granddaughter on blockers).
