A teenaged transgender girl was stabbed 14 times at a birthday celebration in London last weekend, and a 19-year-old girl has been arrested and charged with attempted murder in the case.
The unidentified transgender girl was attending a birthday party at the Harrow Leisure Center roller rink around 7 p.m. on Saturday, February 10, when she was allegedly subjected to transphobic abuse from a group of teenagers. Details remain unclear, but police allege Summer Betts-Ramsey stabbed the victim 14 times with a knife.
The victim was rushed to a local hospital where she was treated for her wounds. She was subsequently discharged and remains in seclusion with her family as she recovers from the attack and wounds.
Summer Betts-Ramsey and three other individuals have been arrested in connection with the crime, according to lead Detective Inspector Nicola Hannant.
This was a shocking and violent attack and we continue to support the victim and her family as she recovers from her injuries, Hannant said in a statement. At this stage, we are treating this as a transphobic hate crime and we know this will cause significant concern.

It seems like being a good human role model isn't enough, but what's the alternative?

I know I'll get raked over the fucking coals for this but this is exactly the reason because if someone tries to kill me I will fucking put their damn life down before I will even remotely let them get that chance. My life has more fucking meaning than any of these Goddamn troglodytes
