See this is the kind of thing I mean. I would say you look like a cis woman but since you put the picture up here if I had to find "clues" that you might be a trans I would say the scarf at the neck might be covering an adams apple.
But it's only because I'm being asked to look and pick at it.
Obviously there are some women on here that have masculine features (you don't seem to to me) but many ciswomen I've seen have masculine features including myself.
The only thing that would make me think a woman was trans if if she had a five o'clock shadow.

I think transpeople see each other through rose colored glasses.... I tend to be a bit more objective.
This girl does vids on youtube, she think she passes 100% and that "no one can tell". Listen, she's beautiful and presents herself as a babe(like me) but one look at her face reveals that she was born an XY.
Do people respect her? You bet.
Do guys love her? You bet.
Can some people tell she's not a genetic female? You bet.
I work in cosmetics. I see male and female faces all day. I've turned men into women and women into men. It is very hard for me to look at someone and tell them, "you pass" because passing requires so much work.
But I am upfront about everything with everyone.
But you present your opinion as if it is the "Real Deal" the way most people go through life. Most people aren't out there with their transdar gunning to catch out people for being trans.
Perhaps the social group you hang out with and the line of work you do will create a sort of paradigm for this but it's your personal paradigm, it's not the way the average person moves through the world.
If you want to give yourself a gold star every time you clock a trans then kudos to you. But the woman in this picture is beautiful and probably more beautiful than the average woman I've seen around and about.
Do you live in a very homogenized society where people come from the same cultures? I see many European and Mediterranean women who are much more masculine than the woman in that picture and I'd never "clock" them or even consider it.
If you are on the lookout for something, you will see what you want to see eventually. I wonder how many cisgendered women you've clocked as trans.
