The twist would be if it’s troon on troon. But I think it was an actual female doing the stabbing.

She has been charged with attempted murder and possession of an offensive weapon in public.

Prosecutor Bunsri Bhuwa confirmed to the court that “the victim is a transgender female.”

The stabbing happened in Masons Avenue in Wealdstone, northwest London at roughly 7pm on Saturday.

The court heard the victim had arranged to attend a rollerskating party with friends at Harrow Leisure Centre that day.

It is said she sustained 14 stab wounds in the alleged attack and was rushed to hospital for treatment.

An offensive weapon? In public?

The fact that they didn't specify suggests it's probably something stupid. Like a fork, etc.

TPTB are eagerly waiting for trans-Floyd.

The law around weapons is quite complex but carrying any weapon, that isn’t considered a firearm (for which there are separate laws), falls under three laws:

The Offensive Weapons Act 1953.
Criminal Justice Act 1988.
The Offensive Weapons Act 2019.

They charge any one caught with a knife outside of the rules with an “possession of an offensive weapon in a public place” charge.

They actually need to prove in court that the item falls into the offensive weapon category.

It might not have been a knife, people get stabbed with screwdrivers, chisels, tent spikes etc. Screwdriver stabbing are particularly nasty.

I read a story about a bong policeman who was done up for "carrying an offensive weapon with no good reason" for the crime of carrying the pocket-knife his department gave him as a retirement present. It's knitting needles to swords, in that category

Maybe she wanted to help him transition, but pp was too small and she missed 14 times?

Nah, she wanted to make that he had lots of options for his future rotpocket installation.

Well, this at least a tangible case of someone trying to murder them unlike a lot of the bullshit statistics they tend to cite. And it's not a prostitute in South America, even! Don't know the motive, though it is certainly possible he was stabbed by someone who hated the fact that he pretended to be a girl.

That, or he was trying on that "you're a girl, I'm a lesbian, you need to let me use my ladydick on you and you're a bigot if you don't submit" bullshit, but picked the wrong girl for it.

I'd like more information on the background of the stabbing. But whatever, you can't stab people, it's rude. Doesn't matter who or how annoying they are.

They are salivating at the mouth with joy over beating this into the ground

What just like the claims of "war on women" when something happens to a female?

A teenage transgender girl was rushed to hospital after being stabbed 14 times, a court has heard. The victim, 18, was attending a roller-skating party with friends when she was allegedly attacked by a group and subjected to slurs, it is said. Summer Betts-Ramsey, 19, appeared in the dock at Willesden magistrates court on Tuesday, accused of being involved in the stabbing.

She has been charged with attempted murder and possession of an offensive weapon in public.

Imagine being a dude and you got stabbed by a teen girl named summer.

Why was the weapon offensive? Was it shaped like a dildo?

Well, all blades are phallic in shape, so stabbing someone is an act of patriarchal rape in any case. Unless the target is a man, because men can never be raped.

Under the Offensive Weapons Act 1953 an offensive weapon is any article made or adapted for use for causing injury to the person, or intended by the person having it with him for such use by him or by some other person.

So a dildo would be an offensive weapon if it was carried for the purposes of causing injury, doubly so for a dual-ended French tickler.
