I thought of that factoid when looking over some of Peterson's remarks. If
this is generally true in the population, is it because of nature vs. nurture?
I anecdotally had the experience it was true, and that (just now) made me go
look to see if there was any research on it.
Lady Gaga's interpretation of Born This Way seems to be the politically-correct
perspective these days. (As opposed to the more sensible "Who the hell are
you to tell me how to live?")
Presumably, the T in LGBT would also tend to adopt that perspective. Running
with that, it seems to be reasonable to ask what other pseudo-gender
differences exist, like intelligence, and the other things mentioned.
There could be cognitive benefits to the alternative wiring, like there might
be creative benefits from having synesthesia.
Alternatively, a Peterson (faced with robust statistics on this) would have to
consider the hypothesis that the (maladaptive?) lifestyle selected for
intelligence or perhaps even improved it.

Weird paper! Right off the bat, I'm not surprised by the inference that
people who entertain the idea of being a different gender would test with
higher IQs. But I *am* surprised by their abilities to draw! Surely the
authors cherry-picked the good ones and the rest were as crappy as my own
attempts to draw people.
