She was also punched, kicked and stamped on as the group shouted vile transphobic slurs.
The victim survived the horrific attack, but has been left with “thick scars” and still struggles to sleep after the incident.
She has bravely asked police to release the CCTV footage of the attack to show what happened to her.
It comes as Summer Betts-Ramsey, 20, was today described as a “dangerous offender” after she carried out the “abhorrent” stabbing as part of a revenge attack.
Bradley Harris, Camron Osei, and Shiloh Hindes, all 18, all later bragged about the attack and taunted their victim.
The group also posted footage of the incident on social media.
The court earlier heard how the mask-clad group had lured the victim to the site under the pretence she had been invited to a roller disco.
But she was “immediately attacked” as she arrived and was stabbed more than a dozen times.
The teen was rushed to hospital from the scene at around 7pm on February 10 last year.
Betts-Ramsey was today sentenced to eight and a half years in youth detention, four and half of which must be served in custody.
Harris, Osei and Hindes were each sentenced to three years in youth detention.
A 17-year-old boy, who cannot be named, was given a youth rehabilitation order.
A 17-year-old girl, who also cannot be named, will be sentenced at a later date after pleading guilty to robbery and possession of cannabis.
A 16-year-old boy received an 18-month supervision order after he admitted grievous bodily harm with intent.
In an impact statement read to the court, the victim said: “I now find it difficult to trust people and it has deeply affected my friendship circle.
“I feel that I have become repressed and am always in fear when leaving my house.
“My attendance at college has dropped significantly, as I am constantly in fear of being assaulted again.
“I found it extremely difficult to sleep the first few weeks after the incident occurred and was constantly having nightmares.
“At times when I close my eyes, I replay the assault in my head and visualise the knife being used on me.
“I am unable to control this and I feel at times that this is taking over my life.”
She added: “This incident has resulted in me being left with thick scars on and around my body. It saddens me every time I see them and I feel like I am the one living a life sentence due to them.
“I am not living a normal life and I am not sure if my life would ever be the same again.
“In the past I have experienced animosity towards me due to being transgender, but never thought that someone would have so much hatred for me and want to assault me in the way they did.”
