Dr. Ada Rozewicz is a family doctor from Ruda Śląska, who has gained recognition not only for her many years of work with patients but also for the courage with which she talks about her transgender identity. A medical professional by education, and a person devoted to helping others by calling. For many years, she worked as a doctor in a hospital and clinic, even before her transition. Today, she works for a network of clinics managed by her son, which includes specialty care, family medicine clinics, a rehabilitation center, and a dental center.
Her journey to living in harmony with herself was not easy. In adulthood, she struggled with depression and a lack of self-understanding, for a long time believing that the only path to happiness was living in a conventional, heterosexual relationship. For years, she tried to "live like a man," with a wife and a son, but her female identity was always present, quiet yet persistent. The breakthrough came in a car, on the road. A sudden realization that she was a woman brought her unexpected joy. As she herself says, it was the most accurate diagnosis of her life. However, she did not immediately decide on changes. She was happy with her life and did not want to disrupt it. Over time, though, the strength of her true identity became unstoppable. She began her transition when her son was already an adult, and her previous life began to crumble.
