What's the most transphobic thing someone's said to you or a friend, and how did you react/what was your comeback?

One of my best friends is trans, and his school friends act like nothing's changed, and refer to her as him. I just give "the look," and refer to her in a correct way. One of them even said that "something's wrong" with the way she is, and I just told him to have some respect for people's decisions in life since they're not in the position to judge what's wrong or not.
Well, my friend came out to me as gender fluid a while ago but my friends still have to correct me if i say “she” or “her”. I’m trying hard, but its really really hard. I’m still not used to it. This was like year ago too. I’m just so used to *them being she!!
One time me and my friend wanted to play 4-square with the other kids, so we got in line. One boy said that I could play but my friend couldn't because they were "weird since they were trans."
I put my pronouns (they/them) in my Kahoot name, and this kid had the audacity to pretend to put his pronouns down too but instead he wrote nor/mal and i- anyways I then proceeded to absolutely crush him at both kahoots because I'm fueled by the hate and confusion of transphobes.
When you come in 1st in Kahoot but the teacher says “you’re all winners”
I was at lunch with my old best friend and we were on the topic of LGBTQ+, and I was talking about non-binary people and gender-fluid people, and he stopped me. I said, "what?"
"There are only TWO genders."
God, I'm so glad we're not friends anymore, I just realized how transphobic, homophobic and misogynistic he is.
I am really sad to say i have made transphobic comments to one of my old friends, When she first came out to me as trans (She was born a male) I was kinda shocked and just said i didn't believe her, now i feel really terrible for treating her like that when she told me. My parents don't support LGBTQ and so i live in a place where lesbians are "disgusting" and its "Not natural" to be anything other than straight, and at that time i didn't realize i was bi yet, so yea thats my transphobic comment story :/
This boy on a bus said that they're the father of my brother's child, so my brother said this(btw he's not gay),"I felt that gayness, daddy," then winked. The boy was shocked.
me and my cousin were talking about trans people and she said "thats weird you shouldn't be able to do that" and I didnt know what she meant so i said "what" AND SHE LOOKED AT ME AND SAID: "yea thats not 'natural'." o_O best believe i dont talk to her much anymore. plus shes anti-mask
My dad misgendering a trans girl in a tv show multiple times then calling her dumb because “he is a boy pretending to be a girl” and “people who want to do that do it either for attention or “because it’s just a phase”
Omg I’m trans (or I consider myself trans) bc I went from female to demiboy and my friend told her grandmother and she said “born a girl, always a girl”
“What are you Transgender?”
I like to say "What are you f****n straight?" because LGBTQ people are just devasted by it
I remember posting something like this. I was walking past a boy and a girl talking. They were talking about sexuality. The boy said something like " Bisexual people aren't real. Even if they were, they'd be cheating on the genders am I right? " expecting the girl to agree with him. She slapped him and left. You go girl!
Whoops looks like I'm late. I'll just post down here. I told my friend I was questioning my gender identity and she proceeded to tell me that girls have a chest and a period and boys don't have a chest and have something else down there. She said "be a boy who dresses in girl clothes. Be a girl who dresses in boy clothes. I could care less. But if youre a girl who says you're a boy, or a boy who says youre a girl, you're not. You were put in your body by God, and he wants you to stay what he made you." I identified as cis for a little bit after that. But now I'm experimenting with different pronouns
