Men do have a stronger kinesthetic sense and general spacial intelligence, on average, than women. Men were the hunters, so it's not surprising that this is an aspect of our sexual dimorphism.

Just on average of course. The bell curves overlap considerably. Working backward to infer sex (or "gender") is not valid.

Not true, working backwards you'd be able to correctly identify sex more often than not.

But it has to be 100% if they're going to use it to claim the opposite sex's identity.

More often than not in terms of better than chance, maybe. But not nearly as well as you can tell just by looking at someone. It's no more valid than "oh she likes playing with trucks, she must be a girl deep inside."

There are differences between the sexes, these are valid and measurable. Let's not ignore that in some misguided sense of "fairness" or conflate it with all this genderwoo nonsense. You seem overeager to dismiss the fact that men and women are different both physically and mentally.

No, it's the tranny in the picture who's overeager to believe that correlations in IQ say something important about gender. All I said is that the bell curves overlap and you can't say for sure. Just how well do you think you can infer someone's sex by their spatial IQ score? I'd guess maybe 70% accuracy. (haven't looked at the stats, just eyeballing) It's something but you can't work backward reliably. Unless your definition of reliable is 70%. I have a nearly 100% success rate using my eyes to tell me someone's sex...

I'd guesstimate around 70% as well, which is more often than not, which is exactly what I said.
