Perhaps, but so must being short, or being the sole minority in a school, or having freckles, wearing glasses at a young age, having braces, having a stutter, a lisp, a hair lip, being overweight etc. There are any number of physical attributes that can cause pain from the way others perceive them. But it's up to us to let that pain stick.
You can't change the feeling but you can change the feeling about the feeling in a second or two.. oh, uh-huh -The Silver Jews "People"

As long as we don't use that way of thinking to excuse our own cruelties.
