No, it's not and I wasn't assuming that it is.
It being television and therefore edited made me think that in the case of the children shown there probably was more of a conversation than: "Mum, Dad, I prefer ponies over cars. Therefore please call me Loretta from now on."
There is undoubtedly also a very deep feeling of "I am ...this." and it in a way is the "essence" I have been wondering about in the first place, one that goes beyond the pure social constructs and expectations.
