I can feel that. I hate when mine is visible as well.
I don't mind having a penis as much as some women here do, I can tolerate it. I'd rather I not have been born with it but now that its there I've grown to not despise it. Surgery is expensive and very invasive anyways, and I hear there are risks of losing feeling "down there" and I'm not sure I would want to risk never being able to feel anything "down there" again. The rest of my body on the other hand, all I have to say is "Why must my chest be so damn flat?"

I'm not sure how I feel about women's underwear; it's just ... something that doesn't impinge upon my gender identity, I don't really care what I'm wearing under my clothes so long as it serves its purpose. Lacy/frilly underwear just seems silly and immature to me. I don't mean to slag on other peoples' sartorial choices there of course - it's just not for me. Depending how much I end up with in the way of breasts, I might not bother with a bra at all.
Boyshorts and tucking seem like the ideal solution downstairs, since men's underwear is definitely designed to accomodate (or even emphasise!) the bulge (a recent ad campaign for men's underwear here has as its tagline "Jockey. For real men" and I'm just like, welp, never buying that brand!). I do find it ironic that our go-to item to conceal our masculine bits are called boyshorts though!
As for the danglies themselves, eh, I've never much liked them but I can't say I hate them. Right now mostly what they are is inconvenient. I'm still trying to get the hang of tucking, and it seems like a major PITA.

You can also do glasses shopping online. That's where I got my current pair.

Yeah, my penis really doesn't give me any dysphoria in and of itself (except very rarely). When it comes to sexual situations, I like my penis. However, I hate having a visible bulge -- that's the part that gets me. If I could make my penis just go away or suck it inside of my body when I don't need it, and then have it when I want to use it, that would be great.

It bothers me when if I ever have to stand to pee. I always sit. So yes, to the countless people who have thought I was a faggot weirdo and that I sit down to pee, your half right - I sit.

I'm a faggot weirdo and I sit to pee.
I mean, I use the urinal when I'm in a public washroom and I'm in a hurry, but if there's no urinal I always sit.

And another device involves pantyhose bands and the lower parts of the pantyhose being cut to make a device called a gaffe. I use that instead of boyshorts.

Huh. Difficult situation, indeed. The way I see it is that there can't really be trust unless there's transparency, and there can't be transparency unless you tell them. However, it is true that transphobia exists, and if one or more of them is transphobic, it could lead to problems.
Maybe think of it this way. Does their not knowing affect your performance and ability to feel at ease working with them? If so, then I would recommend telling them. If coming out to your crew will make you better at your job, then the answer becomes clearer. Yes, there's always the risk that someone will react negatively, but that's not your responsibility. That's on them.
