Trust me, unless you're claiming you're transgendered, you haven't the foggiest of what it's like. You may have had a small taste of the fear of discovery, but that's a very, very small part.

And no, unless you're in like Akhibara or Shinjuku or Harajuku, or are somehow in the fashion/entertainment industry, any kind of crossdressing, be it otakusim or not, would be met with many of the same reactions you would get anywhere.
