    First of all: I don’t know.

    But here’s my two hypothesis:

    • girls can detect other girls by smell (pheromones or something like that?) and by taking HRT you start producing that same smell (unlikely, but funnier)
    • girls (both cis and trans) use hygiene products that smell nicer (and “girlier”). Most shower products “for girls” smell like fruit or tea or something like that, while products “for boys” smell like car deodorant or chemicals.
    • Interesting. I guess that would make sense, using soaps and perfumes meant for girls would make you smell in a way people might think is girly. Although I have used many “girly” products for years and no one ever said I smell like a girl so ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

        maybe people “feared” telling you even if they noticed because they were afraid of making you uncomfortable!

        or maybe they thought that anyone is allowed to smell nice not only girl and those are the best vibes.

        It’s really really funny when one of my best friends (who is a girl) tells me “you smell like my ex girlfriend…and I like it” lol
