<One thing: When a woman who was once a man is competing against women who have always been women, I think she has an advantage, because she inherited a man's body, which is usually bigger and stronger than a woman's>

WAIT. He just called a MAN a woman. He just said "a woman who was once a man" -- as though the man is now a woman. He's not. He's still a man. Cleese is acknowledging men as women, just not born women. Cleese is an idiot.

I think he's just baiting them into the argument. He knows that if he says "men" instead of "women" the idiots will focus on that part alone.

Also, I wouldn't call Cleese an idiot. The man's trying to defend women's rights and is getting a lot of Twitter hate for having the courage to stand for what is right. And instead of thanking him for helping us, you call him an idiot? Do you WANT us to lose the battle?

He is using their language to point out the absurdity of the idea. Their response is going to be the predictable "they don't have any advantages from their previously male body", which anyone with two functioning eyeballs knows is total bullshit just by looking at these people.
