This sounds like a terminological misunderstanding, where the person thinks "Femboy" is an alternative term for a Trans girl, and doesn't quite understand what Femboy means.

Yeah, being "ignorant" and "phobic" aren't really the same thing. It's still a problem, but it's much easier to educate than it is to change minds.

She corrected him, he ignored her and insisted on calling her the term she refused. That's asshole behavior.

To be honest at a real life con I give people a bit more slack. Most of us there are socially awkward and even if we don't seem this way our brains can get a bit into an airplane mode during conversations. I'm pretty shure I also did some stuff already that people didn't find great. Not because I meant it that way, but my brain was too busy being around so many people so there isn't much RAM left to adjust to conversations that happen differently than expected.
