I owe not having a state ID to the small pockets thing... A year ago when I began wearing womens pants I also wasn't comfortable carrying a purse, so the ID and bank card were just in the front pocket. Immediately I noticed iPhones were impossible to carry and two weeks later my ID slipped out of my pocket. Somehow managed to not lose my bank card.
Now I like having a purse or clutch. They are way better than pockets in the first place!!
