If even dictionaries are not able nowadays to define words, than who can?

I was called TERF few times as well, and I am a man! It is indeed word that is used like "nazi", to shut up any discussion and put angry mob on you. Most Authoritarian regimes and dictatorships are doing the same thing, inventing new word or changing meaning for old word - to claim anyone with it as "not human anymore, so it is not bad if you hurt them". And all this redefining of words is giving me really strong wibes of 1984. I don't want to live in future like that, so our struggle for LGB rights seems will never end.

I think technically a man can be a radfem but it's unusual. I just say I'm not a radfem if people call me a terf. It's a good way to judge if they actually know what they are saying if they don't even know what you mean by radfem.

not even technically. Radfeminism doesn’t accept men as members, so that any topics brought up, discussed and decided come from and are about women. Men supporting radfem views are called pro-radfeminists.

Terf is just their version of labeling everything under the sun nazi.
