No, not me. I like the clothes too much, regardless of how I look or how old I feel (60 going on 40 ;) ).
But if you are resigned to it, remember that are a number of charities out there who could use what you have.
Dress for Success (http://www.dressforsuccess.org/get-involved/donation-drives/), local homeless shelters, battered women shelters, and The Women's Alliance (http://www.acdnonline.org/donate/) to name a few.

Whew, I thought you said resigned to quilting.
Yes if you purge, at least donate. Not sure about forms though. Is that a little too personal, like underware? Plus I think most insurance covers the cost of forms as a result of mastectomy. But if not, depending on what you've got, it could be a real gift.

Good suggestions Donna, those resigned to quitting are usually in an emotional mess and it is better to assist in other ways before they even think of purging.

Great idea Donna if I ever purge again...

Even if you don't purge but feel the need to free up closet space or adjust your wardrobe for the new job, different fashion sense or your new dress size (smaller of course), this is a great option. There is a "wardrobe" at our local Pride center that takes donations for trans folk who don't have the funds to purchase their clothes.
I've mentioned it in the past, but it's been quite a while, so Thanks for bringing this up again.

Wow I also thought you said quitting, our mothers didn't raise no quitters. When I do throw some fem things out, which is almost never, I do going it to a goodwill box near our church.

The only thing I'm resigned to quitting is my job within the next year.
That will give me much more time for things I want to do....like... :) No, not buy a Cooper Mini!

Good idea. At least give to charity if you must purge. For my one and only purge, 34 years ago, I gave it all to goodwill. It helps with the regrets that come a few weeks later to know that the wardrobe went to a good cause.

The only time I purge now is old cloths that don't fit or are out of my style/tastes or even damaged... All gets donated :)
