I am dubious of people who say that they have "no regrets."
No one is perfect. We all make mistakes and I admit that I have made choices and decisions that I regret.
In retrospect, I cannot believe how long I hid in the closet because I thought I was too big to present as a credible woman.
When I finally got out of the closet it was so anticlimactic that I was incredulous. I quickly learned that I either passed or that most civilians minded their own business when they saw a man dressed as a woman.
"Youth is wasted on the young" is so apropos in my case. I should have exited the closet and experienced the world as a woman much sooner.
So do as I say, not as I did. Get out of the closet, grab your purse and take a walk on the female side of the street. You won't regret it.
