iirc that's a translation/continuity error. When said character was first introduced, details on their gender was ambiguous, and the English language lacks a proper gender neutral pronoun. So they were referred to one gender for a pretty decent chunk of time, and when it came time for the reveal, the translation team had to patch it up.

All is explained in Encyclopedia Eorzea.

Admittedly, the explanation is entirely a retcon. A reason added after the fact to explain the matter. The post your quoted is a bit more accurate.

I actually recently completed that story part and upon consulting with Urianger after he confirms that said character DID undergo a change of gender.

The Encyclopedia Eorzea reveals that this is actually due to wide-spread misinformation, and that said character was in fact female all along.

That was just the translation team covering up an earlier mistake. That character was repeatedly referred to as one gender before it was revealed in English, and then when the reveal happened they'd learned that they were wrong the whole time. Originally that character was always referred to gender neutrally. There was no gender transformation originally.
