But there are, she admits, still a couple of clues to her former gender. Her hands are large for a woman of 5ft 8in, and her size 8 feet, with their painted nails, are a little broad. Perhaps her brow is a trifle narrow, too. But these are tiny points. Visually, she appears such a normal woman that no one passing her in the street would nudge their companion and titter, as they might when confronted by a 6 ft 3in vision with five o'clock stubble. "I'm lucky, I know," she says. "Many people don't dare transition because they know they would never pass for a woman."

Typical, she's one of the top business people under thirty-five,
outstanding advocate and rolemodel for trangendered girls and..
And the dude says,

I'm guessing that she's not thrilled about that headline. It makes her sound shallow, vain, and dismissive of other trans people.
The rest of the article gives the complete opposite impression. She sounds like a wonderful and inspiring woman.
