I agree, like all adversity it toughens you up and in this example, as you say, hardens you against public approval. I wonder though if nowadays, 'coming out' is so fashionable and easy for young people (not those who have lived a lie for decades) - it might not be having the same toughening effect.

That’s definitely true. It can be cool and so is yes less toughening
