Ditto!!! The OP captures a lot of why I do this. I do think female privilege is real, but society has trouble admitting this.
My legs are shaved (I bike, so I have a "cover") and I carry a purse no matter what I'm wearing. I wear bras almost every day, but not with forms. Just because I like them
I carry a purse regardless of the clothes that I'm wearing, and I've been discriminated against while presenting as a male but carrying a bag. I was not allowed to bring my small purse into a sports...
Thanks for everyone's thoughts on this encounter. I didn't detect that she was being rude, rather was just surprised. After the fact I realized my response was a bit abrupt and she may have had...
I thought about this not long ago. It was in the context of purses. Bags for men are becoming more available, and I was looking at some at a store. None of them appealed to me because I thought they...
I saw a thread about visible undergarments and it was timely for me. I underdress almost daily, including a non-padded bra. I don't try to pass and I never try to deliberately show my bra, but I...
I've found TSA to be nothing but professional when it comes to my clothing. I had several issues with airport security in the 90s when a bra would set off a metal detector and the staff was...
I don't try to pass, but I was complimented on my purse once
For those that swim in public with a one-piece, what reaction do you get from others?
I have carried a purse regularly for about ten years. I have some small cross body messenger bags that aren't really feminine or masculine. I hate putting a wallet in my back pocket, it hurts my...
I have underdressed for about 20 years, and most recently I wear a bra 4-5 days/week. It's now part of my clothing. I don't wear forms.
This post made me smile. I love purses :)
Bras can help prevent nip chafing too
Where I see it is in the plethora of "women-only" activities. It's somehow cool to tribaly exclude men from things these days. I understand the concept and the origin, but it gets old and it starts...
I think this is one area where the "lines" are blurring a bit. Guys are carrying bags and companies are marketing to them. I hate the term "man purse", but it's out there and becoming more...
I run and bike in women's clothes. Running skirts don't do it for me. I've found that running with a bra eliminates nip chafing, and the support is actually nice. In bike shirts, I choose ones...
"under" dressing is the majority of what I do. I'm not trying to pass so my clothes are plain. I wear womens jeans and plain tops sometimes but most of my dressing is based around bras and panties....
For a while this blogger kept up with it

I've tried it and I find the chafing is too much.
I don't think it's sexual. My theory is that men essentially have few choices and women have so many; it's this double standard of women essentially being able to have their cake and eat it too...
I've tried hiking in a kilt and it just doesn't work for me. Too much chafing. In my trips to the east coast of the US, I've seen men hiking in kilts along the AT, but I rarely see women hiking in...
One of my friends had some photos on her phone that she didn't want public. She took her phone to the apple store to have something done and the HS-aged tech at the store got quite a show when he...
I've noticed that GGs swing their arms more side-to-side where as males tend to swing front-to-back
I underdress almost all the time. Exceptions would be visits to a doctor. I wear bras most of the time, but I don't wear forms and I'm not trying to pass. This is a challenge, so I'm discreet...
My female friends who are aware of what I do all think I'm insane for wearing a bra voluntarily. They all say they wish they didn't have to wear them.
