A long path through a traps-filled maze…

Since I was a child, I've yearned to change the world and make it a better place. That is why I dropped my first dream of becoming a cosmonaut and chose the path of law instead. Naïve me! I passed exams to the best Polish law faculty, and graduated summa cum laude. But after a month of studying, I already knew it was not the way for me.

Instead, I got involved in building Internet start-ups in order to have financial leverage to be independent in my social-impact projects. This temporary solution turned permanent for 17 long years. I had some significant successes on my account, and some failures as well, particularly when many of my fastest-growing investments faced bankruptcy during the pandemic. This period of upheaval led me to reevaluate my goals and approach.

Despite achieving moderate wealth and apparent happiness in the business world, I never found the fulfilment I craved. A series of business and personal catastrophes, all occurring within a single year, brought immense mental and emotional suffering. Yet, I endured this months-long nightmare and emerged with an unyielding resolve to never again let the pursuit of profit overshadow my principles and goals.

Determined to find a venture of true social significance, I began searching for a purpose to dedicate myself to. Little did I know, while I was looking for a mission, the mission has found me, through a deeply personal experience.

…towards the Rebirth…

For even longer than I was an entrepreneur, I "was" a man. For decades, I walked a path that wasn't truly mine, identifying as male while the essence of my true self remained hidden. Only in the beginning of 2021, I discovered my true gender, and it was one of the most transformative moments of my life. The joy, happiness, and pure bliss of finally finding one’s true self are indescribable. Since beginning hormone therapy, I've experienced some of the most extraordinary and wonderful moments of my life, disrupted only occasionally by the harshness of external realities.

…throughout the Ordeal - to finally accept the Calling! 

Then, the dark reality hit me with full force, compelling me to learn and navigate the challenges I now share with you. Armed with resourcefulness, knowledge, determination, and yes, righteous anger (along with privilege), I managed to circumvent the oppressive system. While I no longer need help for myself, millions still do. My deep disdain for injustice and pseudoscience propelled me to champion the fight for the rights of transgender and non-binary individuals as my personal mission. Through rigorous research, I discovered that the most effective approach is a self-sustaining solution that rewards the remarkable efforts of those involved and sets the stage for even more ambitious social impact projects for persecuted communities worldwide.

And so, Imago was born.

So who is Zofia?

I am a sapiosexual, rationalist, science & human rights advocate, storyteller & educator, and an insatiable seeker of knowledge. My passion for learning and understanding the world is boundless. I am a lover of books and art, a foodie and cook, an experience-seeker, thinker, explorer, sensualist, and a fervent dancer at psytrance festivals. My life is a rich tapestry of experiences, and I delight in sharing the awe and wonder I have encountered. My core values are anchored in reason and truth, steadfast even when inconvenient. I stand for justice, even when it is uncomfortable. I value deep, meaningful conversations and detest small talk. My journey into femininity has been an immeasurable joy. The spectrum of emotions that come with femininity, particularly those heightened by oestrogen, are powerful, beautiful, and a testament to why I could never revert to my former self.

Dreams

My biggest dream right now is unfolding before you. I would rather die than abandon my mission. I dream of reality where currently indifferent or impotent masses find courage to defend the greatest achievements of humanity, and stand resolute against the totalitarian enemies of liberty, humanism, and joy. I dream of the world where those who thrive on the torment of others are ultimately vanquished, and the perpetual shadow of misery and despair they cast over the world is dispelled.

I yearn for a world where every individual's human rights and dignity are upheld, where vile ideologies no longer shatter lives. I envision a future in which every trans person can blossom into their most radiant self, instead of their flame being prematurely extinguished by the brutes and barbarians incapable of producing their own light.

But I also dream of falling in love again, but this time as a woman (oh, how wondrous that will be!). I dream of building my kinky family (yes, I am openly kinky, I will never again shy away from who I am) to make hundreds of other dreams, ideas, surprises come true, to experience thrills, amazement, and joys together, and be there for each other in sorrows. And I dream of completing the final step of my transition, a step unjustly denied by the Dutch healthcare system.

Embrace the Call – join the Quest!

I spoke a lot about myself. But it was only an introduction, intended as an invitation for you to become the part of this story! So long I delayed, ignoring the Call, and wasting my life. Today, I call upon you. Join me and see the world change. Together, we can turn this dream into reality!
