terfs do not target trans men. yes, trans men are often misgendered by terfs, but Trans Exclusionary Radical Feminists have a very specific agenda which aims to take away the rights of trans women. terfs dehumanize trans women, terfs want trans women dead, terfs enact violence on trans women, terfs have the blood of trans women on their hands. terfs are not fighting to take away the rights of trans men specifically 

you cannot compare the experiences of trans men with terfs to the experiences of trans women. the misgendering trans men face from terfs does not stem from terf politics but from transphobia, which are different! terfs are inherently transphobic yes, but not all transphobes are terfs. you cannot use them interchangeably 

so yes, trans men are absolutely targeted by transphobes! and terfs are transphobes. but to say a trans man is targeted by a terf specifically is incorrect and waters down the true meaning of Trans Exclusionary Radical Feminist to just be another word for transphobe
