One of my aunts was a practicing T for years and a clinical supervisor. She was never bothered by sweats, etc., but she did draw the line at strong body odor and colognes..both of which were offensive to not only her, but to the clients that followed the uh, "fragant" clients. She was very tolerant of other things, but she did ask a couple of her clients to bathe prior to their appointments because they smelled so badly. *shrug* T are people, too, I guess, and get grossed out like the rest of us.
Surprisingly, smokers didn't bug her much..she smoked for years and then quit when she started her practice.
