Of course, this is all based on the premise that you are a transsexual woman (this is the TS forum, after all). If you're not a woman, then you should put these thoughts behind you and live like the man that you are. But if you're a transsexual woman, it's time to stop living a lie, and more importantly, stop making decisions based on the incorrect assumption that you have something to lose. The truth is that you don't even have anything to begin with, because nothing is based on the reality of your true identity as a woman. Things that have 'value' based on a critical, personal falsehood do not have any true value at all.
................. It's a question for which only you know the answer. And as others have mentioned, a gender therapist can sometimes help you find your way.
