I need a backpack to carry my water bottle, my kindle, pencil and sketchbok, documents and all this sort of things. If I don't have to go further, just put things in my pockets.

Back pack for school, messenger bag for work, and pockets when out and about.

Depending on how much stuff I gotta carry/will end up carrying it's either a messenger bag or a backbag. It also depends on my method on transport, too. A messenger bag will become straining on my shoulder on long walks so I prefer to use a backbag in those cases.

I have a briefcase for work and a small shoulder bag. I lived in Japan for a long time do I used to having a compact umbrella, tissues, a bottle of water, etc. All my essentials like keys and wallet are in my pants.  Haven't gotten any weird looks, even in the US.

Nope
I carry my wallet and my keys sometimes i don't even bring that.

Depends on what you count as bag - I usually carry a briefcase or satchel with me for uni, but aside from that... well, not really. Don't need one.

Never had a purse, but I'm a messenger bag kind of guy.

Never owned a purse. O I lied. My granny and mom gave me purses until they understood I don't fancy them. I have a backpack to stuff that don't fit in my pockets.

I have a messenger bag for when I go out intending to buy something that won't fit in my pockets (comics, actions figures etc) but I've finally found cargo pants that fit comfortablly so I've been throwing everything into them. I have Finn's jacket from Star Wars that has inside pockets and people are always amazed at just how much I end up pulling out of them.

Really depends on where I'm going. I'd say for most outings I'll just stick my phone, keys, and wallet in my pockets. Going to work, school, the library, etc. I almost always bring some sort of backpack or over the shoulder bag. At my workplace, we all bring canvas bags - that's probably the closest thing I've used to a traditional purse.

When I was in college I would use messenger like bags.. but now if it doesn't fit in my pockets.. I don't really need it. If I do need it and I'm going somewhere with my wife, I stick it in her bag. I never have been a bag carrying kind of person .

This is sort of what I meant. I also have a messenger bag.

As everyone else has said, guys clothes have way more space for items so that should work. I think backpacks and messenger bags are really cute for some reason, so I enjoy those even though I cannot present as male yet. Looking like a guy, carrying a bag, and NOT feeling like it's making my boobs stick out is one of the little things I look forward to for some odd reason.

I adoooore pockets. I will fit everything into pockets if I can. But books and stuff, go in a backpack. I remember in secondary school when I had this sorta handbag thing and people said I walked around like T-rex with it... Yeah I like to feel sorta free, so that means no skinny jeans, boots at all times and handfree pocket and backpack storage thank you very much. Hate having stuff in my hands.

not me.  i don't like carrying things as it is, so i just make sure all my pants have enough pocket space for anything i might need.  even while living as a girl and carrying a purse because women's clothes just don't have functional pockets for some reason, i always found it really inconvenient to have to hold or keep track of an object all day long and fish through it whenever i needed something. 

I don't, only because I don't carry much with me anymore so it would just feel pointless to me.

When I was younger I had one of those small bags that looked like mini bookbags and gave that up. Being a student I had a book bag all the time and would probably use that if I had to carry a bunch of stuff but normally I just have my wallet, keys and cell on me. Those small thin athletic bags with the strings that close up the top and the strings themselves become straps work in a pinch.

I have this army green backpack thing that's really complicated in its structure? It's like a backpack, and a drawstring bag, and a purse all at once. I think it looks pretty gender neutral though, which is good because I carry it EVERYWHERE. I actually don't have that much in it but it's a nice way to keep all of my stuff in one place.
As far as keeping money, though, I have a super pink super big Cardcaptor Sakura handpurse thing, and it's super embarrassing to pull out when I have to pay for something, no matter how much I love the show.

I carry a messenger type computer bag around most of the time.  I am an academic and need it to carry various papers and other odds and ends for work.  It is fairly neutral, most of my colleagues do the same.  It is not really much of a gender statement.

I have to admit really liking the Vera Bradley bags and purses.  My wife hates them variously describing them as "old lady bags" perhaps that is why I like them, I'm 60 this year.  Also, she identifies them as "prep" material which she does not generally like, although I've spent most of my >30 year married life with her in polo shirts, button down oxford and khakis with a navy blazer in male mode and she likes me.  My adult daughter likes Vera Bradley bags, so I enjoy them vicariously through her. 

I'd love to carry one of those cute quilted bags around at work!  Not likely to happen...
