Regret it? Absolutely not.
Is it how I imagined it would be? Absolutely not. It's so much better! I've done things I never could have ever imagined and done them hundreds of times.
If you are smart about it, you can make it work under whatever your circumstances may be. I too was 100% male in appearance, a lifelong mustache out of the 70's, nice belly, hair from head to toe. Now, while I never "pass", I do pretty well for myself.
