Very good suggestions, Marie. I have been doing that for years and it rarely gets a reaction here in liberal Denver; not so good in very conservative locations. However, what does produce a reaction is carrying a shoulder bag even though it does not look the least bit like a women's purse. Men are supposed to carry their stuff in pockets. Unfortunately, I carry stuff that won't go in pockets. Such as a checkbook, various small form factor tools for emergencies, a magnifier for reading ridiculously fine print, small plastic bags and coin envelopes when I find a plant, rock, or other natural item I want to take home and examine more closely. Never know when you come across such things and as the study of Nature is my profession some of these things are important to have when I need them. But to some it looks like a purse and that creates a reaction in a lot of people.
I do like women's T-shirts and especially in feminine colors. I notice that the younger folks are much more tolerant of the "Hint of Feminine" than older folks, especially guys with beards. No judgement there; it is just a fact that most men who have beards tend to be pretty masculine and follow binary thinking. So, on the whole your suggestions usually work fine and keep the self appointed gender police calm.
