Anna Grodzka

Anna Grodzka (born 16 March 1954) is a Polish politician.

Grodzka was born in 1954 at Otwock, near Warsaw.

Before openly transitioning, she was married (wife: Grażyna) and had a son.

In 2008, she co-founded and became the first president of the Trans-Fuzja Foundation, which works to improve the living conditions of transgender people in Poland and support them and their relatives through the transition process.

The foundation offers psychological support and provides legal advice for judicial gender reassignment and other legal aspects of transition.

She was believed to be the only remaining transgender member of parliament until Nikki Sinclaire (in office 2009–2015) outed herself in November 2013.

She transitioned in 2009 after divorcing in 2007.

Grodzka was a member of the Polish United Workers' Party at Warsaw University and a political instructor in the Polish Union of Students.

Later on she was an entrepreneur and worked in publishing, print industry, and filmmaking.

A trans woman, she was elected to the Sejm in the 2011 Polish parliamentary elections as a candidate for the left-liberal Palikot's Movement, and was the first openly transgender Member of Parliament in Poland, and the third openly transgender member of a national parliament worldwide, after Georgina Beyer (in office 1999–2005) and Vladimir Luxuria (2006–2008).

In June 2014, Anna Grodzka joined Poland's Green Party but left a year later.

In 2019, she became a member of PPS, which she also left soon after criticizing the party's chairman.
