It maybe that she is a whore.

Sounds more grammatical than

"maybe, she may be a whore" -- which sounds redundant.

'It perhaps that she is a whore' is hardly more grammatical than 'perhaps, she may be a whore' - if it is grammatical at all. Nor is redundancy by way of repetition ungrammatical or even always at all times to be avoided or eschewed.

Yes, well that's as perhaps-be.
