Sure. There was a boy who was part of a theater troupe. For a particular show, he had to play a female role which included wearing a costume with fake boobies.

He learned to respect the difficulties that female actors might face with their costumes and body image on stage. So, this 'boys with boobies' situation taught him a valuable lesson about empathy.
