I might be more generous than I should be with these people but I I really want to emphasize the "in comparisson" part of my post. MtFs never pass for a whole variety of reasons, we can all agree on that but I do think if the starsof Davidalign, pooners have a small chance of resembling short or scrawny men. But ultimately the illusion will always break in shirtless pictures which I had the misfortune of seeing, or even still dressed next to a regular man. I will admit that I'm not really paying attention to details on people, usually.
I think the core of this is that passing is contigent almost literally on the amount of masculinization a body has had. Human bodies are by default female, in the literal sense that all fetuses start that way before sex determination processes set in. The masculization process is in many ways additive, males are physically larger, have more muscle and have more pronounced bone features in the face and body. So I think it's easier to pass for an undermasculinzed male than an overmasculinized female. It's much easier for an FTM to add muscle bulk then it is for a MTF to shed it.
