Gender Psychologists Are HIDING the TRUTH | Dr Z Reaction

I'm gay. I never needed anyone to tell me signs that I was gay. The signs she's giving are rhetorical: they are meant to persuade people that they are trans. She's being manipulative.

On her website, Dr. Z sells a transitioning course for $500, and has a bunch of other gender courses for $120 each. That's all you need to know.

Dr.Z looks like Edna from Mr. Incredible but instead of being obsessed with capes is obsessed with gender.

This is dangerous because not all autoheterosexuals need to transition, and transition is a serious process.

this woman has built herself a house of cards by purely listening to the hopes and desires of agp's and then feeding them back to them in some kind of ever increasing feedback loop ..if she could ever experience agp first hand then she might have an epiphany moment regarding her theory she is preaching here.

This doctor is dangerous

I remember watching her videos when I was still with my AGP ex, and I found them to be quite disingenuous. Even back then, when I didn’t know what AGP was, it was clear she was describing male sexuality and male desire. Nothing about it felt like being a woman to me, or that she was describing a female experience at all. It still very much felt like she was a therapist for men.

Deff she says a lot of things that are super problematic, would love to hear a discussion between you two , thanks for reacting to her and would love to see more of this because she’s got a lot of misinformation

This is such noxious bs. If i were a kid today i would be swept up into this. I was a tomboy who had many doubts about myself, but that was just puberty and thank goodness i was allowed to go through that hard process so I could become secure in my bisexuality and know that my identity have f all to do with my sexuality.

She really is engaging in a scattergun "cold read" for me. The audience will identify with 60% and remember it as "perfectly" fitting them and giving them proof of what they want to hear. Almost all these points could be attributed to other things. This is an incredibly irresponsible thing for any doctor to do. 1 Autism/OCD/AGP/Depressive rumination/Anxiety Fits any of these and probably more. At the end clearly talking about body dysmorphia 2 Sounds like AGP (when secret)/Homophobia (Gender non-conforming behaviour in public) Completely agree about the lack of mention of corn, shame, gratification which is heavily implied but purposefully hidden. 3 So disassociation is a psychological response often stemming from abuse and other deeper mental health issues. But then just ignore all that and blame it on gender. Don't investigate the underlying issues just call it gender dysphoria. Then very clearly talking about AGP. Plus feasibly body dysmorphia. 4 She's clearly been talking about ideas more related to males and AGP which Ray explains far better than I can. But in teen girls she's tapping into teen female negative emotions about bodies, expectations on women, objectification of women, beliefs that men don't face the same struggles and that it's possible to opt out of this. The more I think about it the less it makes sense to honestly do four signs of being trans. Clearly these ideas don't fit easily to both sexes and it would make more sense to look at 3 different groups, young gay boys, teen girls and AGP adults. At every stage she was purposefully trying to cast a net wide and being "inclusive". To me she's contributing to the social contagion. I don't know enough about her to know her motivations but I think maybe she thinks she's helping but she's being incredibly irresponsible. Imagine if you had a video of four signs you're anorexic/need a gastric bypass or -cidal or have multiple personalities etc. (and I'm sure they exist to a much smaller degree) then I'd be similarly critical. But there is an exceptionalism with trans that self-diagnosis is the diagnosis and all the usual medical rules about being careful how you approach medical information go out of the window.

that last bit was so extraordinarily revealing, as soon as she mentioned envy my brain imploded and I thought well that's going to be easy for Ray to clarify 😄 I know very little about this subject but every single description of her signs screamed AGP to me right away. is that deliberate on her part, that she does not mention it? does she not subscribe to it as a legit thing?

Is this lady for real? Her accent seems put on and she looks so weird. I’m very perplexed by her identity.

Wait! Are you saying that gender experts are lying 😮?? 😅😅

So she's capitalizing off this trend with the courses she's selling.

Telling people they are trans because you think about it all the time is so dangerous. OCD and autism can also lead to this. And if you're really steeped in the ideology and watching trans content on youtube all the time and in online spaces with lots of trans people, you wind up thinking about it constantly. Your thoughts are not you--they are simply thoughts. Buddhism teaches this, as does CBT.

12:14 in particular, this so-called sign of trans identity is basically just people who don't fit gender norms for their sex being pulled into the trans umbrella. This example proves that trans gender ideology actually shows a rigid definition of gender norms that is regressive. If you are a man who likes wearing dresses, you can no longer be a man, you have to be trans, by this logic. This ideology is fundamentally regressive, not progressive. It reinforces old gender norms instead of overcoming them by broadening the definition of the categories of male and female to include people who don't fit within the stereotype.

lol i remember finding this "doctor" when i started to think i was a trans man, i wanted to believe it so much and at times i did, but something always felt off about her.

Madame Natalia Zhikhareva. Dr Z. Never answered my criticism. Massive promoter not only of transition but surgical reassignmet: in one of her videos accuses patients and pushes them to the idea of surgery bu saying that even if they feel better after hormone therapy and dont consider reassignment theyare not...COMMITTED enough! Hearing this was enough for my jaw to drop and quit watching her content. A manipulator. And a very toxic one((

You are correct about the brain studies. I have to correct people all the time. Yes, BnST and INAH3 studies say more about sexual orientation than trans identities. When it comes to body self identification of any kind, babies do not start passing the "mirror test" for stable self awareness of their own body model until about 18 months of age. We construct Version 1 of our wrapper narrative identity from that point to about the age of four. You are absolutely correct: gender identity., which is part of our narrative identity system, is downstream of anything we were born with. To the extent that brain differences influence sexual orientation, personality attributes and behaviors, these MIGHT affect the narrative models we start building for ourselves, but this is not necessarily so. Besides, it always comes during life, not before birth. We are not born with a gendered homunculus. Rather, we create our embodiment models as we need them (which is pretty much all the time). We take our neurological influences, environmental signals, and our memories of ourselves and goals and use them in our "salience network" to create an embodiment model on the fly. This model can always be manipulated, as Ramachandran had shown with his "mirror therapy" experiments for amputees, and also as can be shown by experiments that create the illusion that we can have TWO bodies at once! Sure, narrative identity is different than our embodiment model, but both are created during our lives, not before. As for the Ramachandran hypothesis that transsexuality is a problem-at-birth of the "cortical homunculus" mapping within the parietal lobe, I don't buy it. In fact, the only time transsexuals have phantom limb pain is AFTER genital surgery where something was removed. What is experienced prior with genital dysphoria--to the extent that any transsexual has it--is NOT the same as phantom limb pain or other sensory distortions that are expected from mapping problems with the parietal cortical homunculus. Rather, genital dysphoria is a kind of an abstracted phenomenon, with emotional accompaniment, that is most likely expressed in other networks of the brain that are more reliant upon life experience and closer to the emotional limbic system or the medial prefrontal cortex which helps modulate our emotional states, attention, and other processes. My interaction with Dr. Z was brief. I wasn't impressed. I share the same conclusion as you: she is an idealogue.

She’s one of the main channels that I binge watched that lead me to transition.
