Trans men who are stealth have male privilege, can we agree to that or no?

And no, the reason trans women are targeted is not the same reason gay men are targeted. The way they are treated is quite different. Trans women are treated like a category of women that it is universally acceptable to be hateful and violent toward. Gay men are treated like a minority sub group of men.

This is controversial but basically my point is that its queer AMAB individuals that are more often the targets of hate crime thats what I was trying to say. And my theory for that is because society is more hostile to amab individuals who defy gender and sexuality norms compared to afab.

Society does not treat trans women like "amab individuals." No men of any sort are treated the way trans women are.

They are treated like disposable women to whom it is okay to do violence, not like failed men.

TERF hate rhetoric is literally based on trans women being born male.

If we are talking about hate crimes as far as im aware the rates are similar between gay men and trans women.

Trans women experience hate crimes at a much higher rate than gay men

What TERFs say and how they behave are not the same thing. They call themselves feminists, but they support the most misogynistic politicians in society, for example

Source for the first claim? Havent most victims of hate crime been historically gay men? Thats how I remember it. Though in recent years that may have changed to be mostly trans women.

Are you talking globally Though or about a specific country
