I would guess they decided to approach you before they smelled the baby. How close do you have to be to smell a baby. If they were close enough to smell I suspect the had already approached you by the strictest definition of approach.
- vmception 5y agoAny cisgender women that like to check out babies want to chime in? Maybe additional ciswomen that talk with their other cis women friends who like to check out babies?
- tsimionescu 5y agoWhy bring up cis women specifically? If this response/behavior is in fact real (which I have many doubts on), you could well theorize that it is related to female hormones, which transwomen who have transitioned have as well.
- vmception 5y agoyou could theorize that, you could also theorize that its not just hormonal and a combination of other things on the X chromosome, which trans women do not have. so its too limiting to attempt to isolate just hormones. the babies are the ones emitting the chemicals, we would just need them to bind to us to trigger any number of processes. we can have chromosomal sexual dimorphism on the olfactory glands, within our lungs, on our skin, somewhere deeper in the pipeline, different gut microbes, you name it. even if we desired trans women to have these features merged in retroactively, we still need to study the cis women created via selective pressures to understand what exactly the features are this requires natural born females responding about their experience, so it would be counterproductive for trends to get in the way of choosing the accurate sample population
