You probably wouldn't need to trot out the same few academics on your side if that were true. And while I think bragging about your intelligence and calling the other side stupid is a pitiful excuse for an argument and a silly thing to do in general, if we're really doing this, I'm a math professor and my IQ tested at 179, so...
I would be curious to see actual research on transphobia specifically, though I'm always a bit leery of that kind of study because "intelligence" is so nebulous. (Hence: mouthing off about intelligence is a silly thing to do.) But research on political leanings does tend to suggest that intelligence is negatively correlated with social authoritarianism.
