I won't pretend to be speaking for anyone but myself, but for me underdressing is a compromise. If it were left solely to me, I'd be dressed entirely feminine 24/7. But since I strive to present an -um- "normal" look to the world at large, and I don't/can't successfully pass myself off as female, I choose to look like a male to them. I'm not an in-between type of person - not brave enough, I guess.

But I can allow myself a certain amount of expression of my inner sense of self by my choice of inner garments. No one else needs to know. But *I* do!

also - having a minimally tolerant SO with a strict set of house rules that include "don't let anyone else know, or see you" complicates things...
