Welcome to babble!
In my opinion the intensity of his questioning was at best insensitive. It makes me wonder whether he was filling in some kind of PTSD/sexual abuse inventory and reading questions off of a list? Even if this was the case, he should have realised how personal and intrusive these questions would be and how potentially triggering.
I wouldn't say his questioning was inappropriate - but definitely insensitive and it was certainly a shame he didn't leave you opportunity to say what was relevant to your treatment. Maybe, if you feel able to set your boundaries, there is a value in seeing him at least for the next appointment to talk it through and see whether this is his usual approach or rather that he was filling in the paperwork/getting a quick history and was rather tactless. Obviously, if this has really shaken you/upset you then it might be wise, within your means, to try and find a different T.
Good luck.
