The part on trans males doesn't make that much sense. They may have male brain chemistry but I'm recalling research on finger digit ratios in transsexuals that seemed to point to transsexualism being caused by low prenatal testosterone levels across the board (2D/4D ratios were higher in transgender participants regardless of birth sex). Other studies suggest little correlation, so in the end, it's still quite hard to say.
Aside from that, I think it's a bit misguided to come to such conclusions based on anecdotal evidence, which is probably even less reliable owing to the general tendency where outliers of all sorts will be shared more as evidence. You don't tend to notice the average people in your life. Outliers form a group that is neither representative of the median person, nor is it usually large enough to be statistically significant.
I am transmale, if I were to have written this post, I might have come to a completely different conclusion. I know many highly intelligent female and trans male/trans masculine, enough to form jsut as many examples provided here, my own IQ is 150 so I could also speak from my own experience. Before hormones, I was a few inches above average height and already had test levels on the high end of normal (for females in both cases), but I'm more reserved and not very driven, though that could be explained more by my upbringing than anything else.
For science, the volume of my butt is so-so, do with that what you will. In any case I actually quite like it when folks share their thoughts on the internet. Always curious to know what other people's viewpoints are especially WRT stuff I've got some personal experience with.
