Who Is Dr Z? Part II.
Dr. Z opens up in part 2 of "Who Is Dr. Z"—sharing more about herself after four years of connecting with the trans community. She explains why she started this channel: to make specialized professional information accessible to people who can't afford her high-end therapy rates or live in areas without gender therapists. This channel is her pride and joy—what she's most proud of besides publishing her book.
She shares personal details: she's Russian, immigrated at 13, lives in California with her husband of nearly 17 years, has no kids by choice, and is an introverted hermit by nature who'd rather be in a cabin reading than socializing. She's a voracious reader obsessed with books on gender theory, feminist literature, and psychoanalytic perspectives. Her other passion? Tarot cards as psychological tools for self-discovery.
Most importantly, she shares what four years of this work taught her: humility and that genuine kindness is the only way to make a difference. She leaves hateful comments up as reminders of what she's fighting—not just gender issues, but hatred coming from ignorance and the fundamental human right to exist and be happy.
Watch to find out why this work matters and what drives her passion for justice.
