One might think that it would be "fun" to have boobs, but part of being trans is that (in most cases) you do not end up "playing" with them or "celebrating" them (much), or even paying all that much attention to them: instead, seeing them or feeling them gives more a sense of "rightness", that they were a body part that was formerly missing and now is not. You probably don't pay much attention to your foot, for example.
"Society" doesn't seem to say anything about my breasts; I do not get stares or "dirty looks" or remarks from strangers.
My wife does not find my breasts attractive and wants me to be flat flat, but she also nags me about my stomach and legs not being as flat as when we met more than 15 years ago... and that my face is more lined. In other words, she is disappointed that I have aged in my appearance relative to my mid-thirties and expects me to do something about it to get back to looking like I did then. I'm not supposed to have aged -- but it's okay that she has aged, "it's a natural part of life".
At least two GG's have expressed that I look good with what I have so far. Others don't appear bothered. I would say that I am on friendly terms with more GG's now than I was 15 years ago.
