    Today we learned that bigots think trans women have a biological advantage at being smarter and more logical than cis women.

    Last month we learned that bigots think trans women are hotter than cis women.

    Starting to think bigots don’t think clearly.

      If trans men (and by extension all men) are equally smart and logical as women, why even have separate men and women categories? Let women compete with men and we’ll soon find which gender is more smart and logical.
