Sure, I can certainly agree with that to a point. But I wouldn't go so far as to put faith in a direct causal relationship. I know plenty of spectacular roleplayers who can't play a character of the other gender well at all. The correlation between being a really stellar GM and being able to effectively roleplay a cross-gendered character is probably closer to one, as the skills exemplified in one are reinforced by those in the other. But some people just play niche roles well, rather than a wide range of roles. This doesn't make them a poor roleplayer, it just makes them limited. But defining what exactly a limited roleplayer is or is not would be near impossible, so I would trust more in the ideas I initially postulated.
