I don't want to sound mean with this I'm sure you mean the best but this isn't a debate

Deadnaming and/or misgendering someone purposefully is transphobia and doing it because they're a bad person is still transphobia

As a trans person I'm saying that if you are transphobic to someone even if they're bad is conditional acceptance whether you mean it that way or not

People were deadnaming her in the comments, that's transphobia not an opinion

This is not what I am disagreeing with you on. I am in full agreement here.

and doing it because they’re a bad person is still transphobia

Im disagreeing on this point. It isn't simply because they're a bad person.

People were deadnaming her in the comments, that’s transphobia not an opinion

Agreed

What's the difference between transphobia and bigotry?

I think you might mean bigotry, albeit a very specific kind.

Yes, and that very specific kind of bigotry is called transphobia...

I thought the "phobia" part was relevant but in looking up definitions of transphobia and homophobia I see that, etymologically, the phobia part seems to be irrelevant. TIL!
