You seem to have pinpointed the differences quite well. Have you noticed any difference in scent between a man and a FTM? I don’t usually get close enough to trans people, but those that I have been able to smell repulse me.

I haven't been close enough to tell. If anything, they smell more "neutral", similar to how butch lesbians (who don't shave their body hair) I know who use men's body wash and deodorant tend to smell. Not intoxicating like healthy men smell to me, but just neutral.

MtFs on the other hand typically smell putrid. It reminds me of when I used to shave my armpits and how I would have to reuse deodorant every 3-4 hours. BO masked with cheap perfume.

Why do you think that is?

Most deodorants and perfumes marketed toward women already smell bad to me, plus you add on the fact that this dude is removing his body hair which helps to regulate his pheromones when he sweats, and then you add on the fact that he is taking cross-sex hormones which do change how you smell so... these men just become BO factories.

I see. That pheromone regulation feature I didn't know about before. I also heard that body hair is a lot less conducive to bacterial growth than skin, so having some around to wick off the apocrine sweat(the sort that eventually reeks due to bacteria decomposition) from the skin reduces one's BO.

Yeah, and all those ingested hormones in completely the wrong ratio in the male body is bound to cause problems.
