Completely untrue; there's a pre-approved list of socially acceptable misfortunes to come to their same-identity baby. After all, you also can't show the character having no misfortune in their lives and being a happy, well-adjusted, idolized creature above the pathetic wrecks either...they have to suffer the accepted adversities so the people watching remember that they're supposed to be miserable forever for being born as part of this identity, that they have no hope of happiness in life, and they must grow old and bitter, filled with nothing but hate at their majority for plotting against them to make sure they had a wretched life.

After all, if you don't make all your media talk about how being a member of this group is so horrible that it's impossible not to be miserable forever if you're in the group due to how the world is rigged against you, then people might not be filled with hate towards their "other", and we can't have that, can we?
