Let's use Mr. Weisntein's comment on my video as a jumping off point for a thread on trans people, HRT, body odor, and pheromones.pic.twitter.com/lb7DGBbtrC

Until that moment I had actually forgotten I ever smelled like that. Within a few weeks of starting HRT there was a dramatic change (more TMI ahead) in the way I smell. Pre-HRT I used to wear clinical-strength deodorant with a girly scent to mask the horror. No longer necessary.

The most noticeable change is I now just don't smell like much at all. I can sleep in a t-shirt and not notice a scent the next day. Even on a hot day I can just put on some bullshit hippie apricot-scented deodorant and be fine. And what smell there is is distinctively female.

And yes, the opposite change happens to trans men on T.

So yeah. There's no need to throw punches, and if that's a hang up keeping you from considering trans people as sex partners, good news you don't need to worry about it.

Oh other disclaimer: the "ugh" about the corset is not an ugh about the way men smell (which for the record I'm living for it). It's an ugh about having smelled that way myself, which I'm not living for it.

Also body odor is natural and beautiful and I'm not trying to shame anyone for the way they smell. I'm sorry for tweeting.

That's really interesting! I had no idea that's how it worked. The human body certainly is a fascinating construct! It's so weird that testosterone is correlated with such a heavy scent. The evolutionary biology of that seems maybe straightforward, but I'd love to know more.

I used to shower at least once a day, I hated the idea of smelling like that. Since HRT, yeah I don't notice much at all. And, I mean, I'm checking. I can be dripping with sweat after a boxing class, and it's just, nothing. Score another one for drugs!

If that's your experience, congratulations. Most cis women need a stronger deodorant--and really should use one!
