You think LessWrong is a better place to start probably because you've heard a lot about trans young people whereas you probably haven't heard much about and probably don't know much about Less Wrong, but I am confident that if you were to get to know us, you'll find that we are mostly good people and we have a healthy community.
That is something I very definitely already believe, and my point is that trying to characterize large groups of people by the activities of a tiny number of crazy people is bogus; in this case though, if someone is going to try to deploy that kind of bogusity, fair is fair!
