Honestly I'd actually say that this is gaslighting for once, since it's getting her to try and doubt her own experience of Glenn's "friendship". "Actually, I'm the good guy in this scenario" he says, all while spouting off transphobic arguments.
The phrase "one of the only one[s]" is doing a lot of work. Like, sure maybe you had a few other close friends at the time, but really wasn't I one of your closest? Wasn't I exceptionally self-sacrificing?
