If I am reading correctly, they are just pointing out that people regret all kinds of decisions that have lasting impact on life. To try to say that trans people in particular need to be “protected” from transition because of possible regret is acting as though that regret is uniquely bad, which isn’t the case. Hence why it would be gaslighting.
Can you maybe provide some quotes where you are seeing this? It reads to me more as someone who is coming to terms with not really being comfortable anywhere, and thinks that should be “okay” too. I didn’t see anything about protecting people, or that they had regret, but maybe I did not read some part of it close enough.
I’m not sure I follow what you’re saying. Could you rephrase?

Ah yea, I thought the author did a great job touching on that

Yes thanks that’s what I was saying
