Driving around the South Island, I marvelled all over again. It's so vast and spectacular, so different, in many ways, from the North. It's so wildly beautiful it gives you a sense of privilege.

I certainly already knew there were transgender people, but I'm equally certain I didn't know there were trans kids of single-digit age, and the stories from this conference - where clearly some of them realised for the first time they weren't alone in this were gut-wrenching.
