For me, I only go out dressed if I have a purpose. Mainly going shopping for new clothes. I want to try on stuff at the store, and that's easier when I am dressed up. Or a makeup store like ULTA is more comfortable to go into dressed up. I'll go places dressed with a purpose.
But I agree with you, I would never go out dressed partially or just wearing a couple of women's clothing items but presenting male. That I am still trying to figure out. I won't judge or criticize anyone, but it is something I too do not understand. I feel like doing that is just inviting negative reactions from others.
