Thanks for covering my ride 🤘 Funnily enough, media is one of the requirements of the Guinness world record, but it's been an uphill battle (except in India, where I was published in three local newspapers, ha!). Lesson learned: I need to invite Brian Tamaki next time I do something cool.

And thank you to everyone for all the lovely uplifting comments! How good is the webworm comments section??

Stoked to see this piece and Robbie’s story getting told in an NZ (adjacent) publication. The lack of coverage absolutely baffles me - to my mind this story is such a slam-dunk for any editor, even if it’s a few lines and an outsourced pic, but apparently newsrooms are weird about positive coverage of trans folks? Like it would be somehow biased to tell a *good* news story about them? Which is just nuts to me. This is another Kiwi world first, like the first summit of Everest. Don’t we love those? Isn’t that NZ’s *thing?* Everyone in the damn country should know about and be celebrating this achievement imo.
