Since models have often been accused of looking like tall lanky young boys (which if you look
at runway models, you'd sort of agree with, I find this soooo funny.
Look, models have high cheekbones (male trait), tall (male trait), little body fat
and generally small breasts (male trait),
shoulders large for a women (male trait), strong jawline (male trait), longer legs
in proportion (male trait)
Actually, a transgender women starts with kind of big advantage on the average women :-).
So, no, I don't see anything different here.
As for models being dumb or whatever, that's kinda of a stereotype.
If you could make 16M $ a year just on your looks, you would!
Many models actually have quite decent after career, better than
the post-career of professional athletes for sure.
