First of all many FFB’S deal with BT problems. My parents are BT and so I deal with things with my cousins, grandparents, uncles and aunts. My children will also have these issues, so do people who do kiruv, so do anyone that makes friends with a BT can secondhandedly issue with things like how to explain things.
In addition anyone who has a neighbor or friend who is on another plane of yiddishkeit may also deal with the same things. If your co-workers are sefardi and get upset when you can’t eat their food, or a neighbor decides to marry someone of the same gender…etc.
BT’s do NOT have a monopoly on these different situations.
Also many FFB’s grow up living a frum lifestyle and not a frum life, it’s all external.
I don’t really think any of us have this life thing any easier.
On some level, if you really think about it, it’s easy to be frum. If you act a certain way, talk a certain way, wear certain clothes and pretend to be a part of this world you gain friends, community, a spouse that is loyal, a family and so much more.
Sure, no one is promising you all of these things, but in the secular world people have no morals and backstab each other left and right, cheat on their spouses, and much worse. Yes these issues have come to frum society to a degree, but it is all against the Torah and we all know that, we all know of this rule book, and it’s rules, and these issues are MUCH LESS rampant than in the rest of society.
No one has it easy.
Life isn’t supposed to be easy anyway.
