“To some extent, leaving the community was even harder than transitioning. I had no idea what I was getting into. I didn't know anyone, couldn't speak the language, and didn't have an education.

The culture shock is just in every level, every way…. It's like being an immigrant in your own country.”

“I wish I didn't know now what I didn't know then
I wish I could start this whole thing over again
I'm not sayin' it's you could never be true
I just don't wanna know how it ends

I'd still look like a fool in front of your friends
Yeah I wish somehow I didn't know now what I didn't know then.”

Toby Keith (1961) American country music singer and actor

Song lyrics, Toby Keith (1993)
