I once had a girlfriend who bought me fishnet stockings and a dress so I could wear them while we had sex. I obliged to be a good boyfriend. It wasn't much of a thrill, honestly. But I'm not a crossdresser.
Often, when good-looking women complain about getting harassed in the street, my answer is "would you prefer if nobody hit on you? There are women who suffer that fate?"
Eventually, it will be over for you. Enjoy it while it lasts. As far as men not understanding catcalls? I used to get them from gay guys in New York City. I remember two guys cruising me as one said "I bet he's got a tight ass." It was gross. I get it. If those kinds of comments were directed at me every time I walked out in public, I wouldn't be happy.
