Blue Eye Samurai, where the mc binds her chest and hides her neck, talks about being born different from everyone else, and insists on he/him pronouns. Then the producers are like "yeah she just pretends to be a guy because it makes her life easier".
I think you're underselling it a bit. The implication is mc would be killed for not following customs etc... Not so much "easier" as "possible".
that's a fair reason for the character to cross-dress, but I'm talking about the author's motivation
