Anna Grodzka entered Poland's history books after being elected the country's first ever transgender MP in last month's parliamentary elections.

Why did you decide to become a candidate? What do you want to achieve as an MP?
I want to fight for equal rights for everyone. Everybody, regardless of how he or she may be different, should feel in Poland at home. Poland lags behind other EU countries in adapting equality laws. And the time has come for sexual minority groups here to enjoy the right to legal partnerships. I also want to advocate for government support for in vitro fertilization and sex change procedures.
