HRT is wild, y'all. Is it weird to be attracted to my own body odor?

Makes sense. We are all basically nose blind to our own stink. Change the chem and blind the blinder.

One of the hard realities of my physical disability comes from still cycling. The chronic stress from pain shifted my scent significantly. When I change drop bar tape OMG it is terrible. It was even super corrosive over the first few years. Basically drop bar tape on a bike evaporates a ton of sweat and concentrates the salts and the worst part of your own scent.

For the longest time I thought the scent was only due to diet, but have since learned it is far more complicated, as even with a perfect diet I am still toxic AF. I attribute it to the never ending stress from high levels of constant pain.

So... if it suddenly seems more pleasant, maybe it is not just the HRT. Being in a better place physically and mentally has a substantial impact on scent and health overall. Just be the best you.
