Well, yes, I think there is. When out in the daytime, there is less ability to hide. No shadows, plenty of people, so naturally it seems more intimidating to the part timer like myself. But, there is a huge upside: women are out, often alone, and not out of place. The term "hiding in plain sight comes to mind. Going out at night, alone, is like having a spotlight on you.
The real challenge for us cross dressers is how to use enough makeup to hide the beard shadow but not look "made up." Then there is the outfit, casual and daytime go together like peanut butter and jelly.
I just got back from errands and a bite to eat and as always, nothing happened. I got one double take from a young lady. A kind of "I wonder..." look. The more common response was a smile and "Hi."
Here's me in a casual skirt, simple top and a baby wedge. I had on only mascara, and lipgloss. Simple, casual jewelry. No spotlight hit me, I swear.
Get out in the day time if you want to.
