Another ftm actor, Morgan Davies, a cutie btw, doesn't look like a "she" at all.
I suspect there's two factors at play with Elliot that don't apply to Morgan Davies:
1) We've had two decades' worth of performances (from a stint as Mr. Lahey's daughter on Trailer Park Boys to movies like Juno* or Inception) from when he was still pretending to be a girl, and as a man? Well, there's two seasons of the Umbrella Academy, and some indie film nobody saw.
2) Dude is short: 5'1" to be exact.
Morgan? Well, looking at his IMDb page, the only pre-transition roles I've even heard of are from The Girlfriend Experience, but the only reason I know it was even a thing is because Kyle Kallgren reviewed the original movie in his early days and it (especially his treatment of Sacha Gray) wound up being cringe. Plus, apparently, he's 5'7", a bit on the small side, but more typical of Cis men than 5'1".
* Come to think of it, playing an iconic pregnant teen does not help matters.
