A year on from the murder of Brianna Ghey, charities have told LBC they've seen a growing number of transgender young people "desperate" for support. The 16-year-old was stabbed to death in Culcheth Linear Park on February 11, 2023, in an attack described in court as "brutal" and "sadistic."During sentencing, the judge, Mrs Justice Yip, said the murder was partly motivated by "hostility towards Brianna because of her transgender identity".
"On the day following Brianna's death, the UK's LGBTQ+ support line saw a 79% increase in calls to its service, with 40% of those specifically referencing the case.Switchboard CEO, Stephanie Fuller, told LBC: "The day that awful story broke, I remember it really vividly."It was about people feeling unsafe about their place in the world. It wasn't just trans people, it was actually families as well," she said.
