I have a trans friend who has moved to living as a female without surgery, and one who is only thinking about it, but hasn't come out yet, so heard their struggles as they tried to work things out.
I see myself as non-binary, or partial trans-male, but before I discovered the Thai gender-blending, anti-dysphoria herb, derris scandens, dysphoria pressure kept me leaning toward a more masculine-ish presentation.
My compromise, after feeling blended, is to wear only clothes I make, which are ambiguous, but could be considered feminine enough for teaching ESL in Thailand.
I use beautiful Thai cloth to make shirts that are cut like shaped T-shirts, totally plain, with hems that scoop up to side slits to allow me more freedom of movement, then wear a plain, thin black belt that could be for either gender, and local handmade jewelry of the sort that either gender Thai wear.
I made several pairs of plain black lycra material loose slacks with pockets. These look sleek and ambiguous but again, don't restrict movement as I hike, or ride my motorbike to work.
If a school requires me to wear a skirt I usually ask my agent to choose a different school.
I wear men's rubber slip-on sandals, since I seem the most dysphoric about my shoes..I must have comfort and durability, and most female shoes aren't about that. Besides, Thai bathrooms often have Thai squat toilets, and use sprayer hoses instead of T-paper, and and bathrooms are usually an awash in water.
Usually, people remove shoes before entering a building, so most Thai wear slip-on shoes anyway.
