I assume they mean something along the lines of “the world is collectively just trying to make me feel safe and comfortable, rather than being honest”. So basically impostor syndrome?
Oh, yeah, I know what you mean now. That like you assume they see a trans woman, rather than just a woman, and that’s why they call you as a woman, because they’re trying to be nice to trans people, rather than just seeing you as a woman.
When everyone supports you and validates you no matter what, you’ll never be certain whether you deserve that support and validation. In this case, it basically means our transfem thinks those gendering her correctly are just pandering.
Looked uo the definition on Urban Dictionary and I still have no idea what you mean

Self-gaslighting - into selfdepreciation, perhaps?
Precisely. Getting the treatment you want seems so impossible that the mind rejects it.
