I would try to find a different way of saying this. For example, "having the signs of" is the wrong phrase if you are going to talk about femininity. It makes it seem as though you couldn't tell whether this person was a woman or a man until you saw these signs as a indicators of such.

- Whether you're talking about a woman, or a man with what are perceived to be feminine characteristics, that would be very offensive.
- It might be better to use words such as elegance or beauty, if what you will be describing in the context thereafter are physical traits which have a favorable opinion to you.
