I guess it is somewhat refreshing and reassuring that nobody seemed to react to a guy with large breasts.
Once, when I was researching how to fit a bra for a man, I stumbled across a forum of men who wore bras because it was less painful than not wearing one. They were on therapies for hormone-related cancers and a side-effect was breast growth. Many of them reported very unkind reactions in public.
I suppose the person you saw could be one such individual. It is also possible he was a female-to-male transsexual in the earlier stages of transition who had not yet had top surgery or maybe it was a female with a really bad hormonal imbalance who now has facial hair, but has kind of given up on trying hard to conceal the problem. I suppose it could also have been a woman who wants to grow facial hair and such and remain female the way some of us want to grow breasts but remain male.
Either way, it's nice to hear there did not seem to be any reaction to someone whose outward appearance was incongruent with standard norms of gender presentation.
