I think each listed fragility is a role assumed by the true believer as an identity.
"Today is Friday, so I am going to assume the 'cis'-identity character of looking forward to a weekend away from the identity character I assume at work."
.
Returning to the 'living in a simulation' theme, a character requires a role, or that character is unnecessary to the script.
If this was my movie, I would write a bunch of peripherals -- lovable yet pathetic goofballs -- as a counter-point to lift my noble and heroic character above the squabbling rabble.
.
And my movie would have comment sections for my 'noble/heroic' character to pontificate annoyingly and pompously...
