No matter what "Elliot" does, and how much he/she works out, it's impossible to change the fact that this person is 5'1" with a very small frame. That's why that tuxedo looks so ridiculous, and why "Elliott" will always look funny standing in a crowd. (It's less apparent in solo pics, hence that's the reason we're only getting such pics for the most part.)

Much like a 6'3" dude with a square jaw and wide shoulders has no chance to pass as a woman, a tiny chick is going to have a hell of a time passing as a man.

I don't care if Ellen wants to become Elliot. He/she is an adult and can mutilate their body to their heart's content. The whole thing just looks ridiculous, much like how I'd look ridiculous if I "identified as 20 years old" and attempted to dress in a way to where I thought I'd pass for 20. People would look at me and think, "WTF does that delusoinal middle aged man think he's doing?"

Pretty much the same thing here, except the left feels obligated to gush about how beautiful and brave this is.
