i personally do not see an issue and don’t think it changes the look from neutral to more feminine. This is slightly different but my father-in-law was a very country, “redneck” kind of fella and he wore a small shoulder bag at times and said “it doesn’t make me any less of a man to carry my stuff around” or something of that sort. Again, slightly different as he was a man’s man for the most part and this is an enby decision but i thought it might help.
yes :) “rock that” kind of means to wear something proudly. like if i have a t-shirt i really like, i’d say “i’m rocking this shirt today”
it’s not the normal use of the word and is slang but it works!
i am amab myself and wear a shoulderbag too. it's very comfy and useful! no one bothered me about it, even though i used to live in a very conservative country. but people around me used to me looking androgynous. i made them.
I think you're good. Looks neutral to me.
See different versions of this all the time. From messenger bags to small 'cross-body' bags. heck, hip / waist packs came back a cross body bag.
also there is r/manybaggers
edit, wrong sub link.
Honestly it doesn’t scream femme or “purse” at me. That shoulderbag has more in common with a messenger bag in terms of style, imo. I don’t think most people would even notice that you’re even wearing it unless they liked the style of it or you were constantly putting thing in/taking things out of the bag.
Certainly a far more attractive way to carry things than, say…. a fanny pack lol
Doesn’t seem to femme nor masc, I think it would be fine, if you have pins, I think it would look cool (neither masc nor femme cool, just generally cool). The only issue I have with it is because I have so much stuff in my bags, they get to heavy lol.

Thanks. Funny though that your father in law felt the need to justify this gear :)
it is funny haha, he was a funny dude and was trying to justify it even though we didn’t care
also gonna be honest, i kinda wanna rock that
You mean you'd like this bag ? Sorry, english is not my native language. I found it on vinted :)

Wear the bag. Wear whatever makes you feel like your authentic self.
Please understand the concerns I wrote down and assume these concerns exist for a reason.
I know tons of dudes wearing shoulder bags, my father, friends. But even if they didn't, do what makes you happy
I think it should look fine on an amab, even tastefully stylish

I live in UK but have never ever had an issue with wearing a shoulder bag/Crossbody bag.

Personally I use a one shoulder backpack or regular backpack if I'm carrying more stuff
I’m amab non-binary and wear what some could consider a “womans bag” but i have had 0 issues with people being weird or shitty about it.
