    Yesterday was a big day for European politics, with Poland welcoming their first transsexual woman ever into its parliament. Anna Grodzka was born a man but underwent a sex change. She was also joined by Robert Biedron – the country’s first openly gay man to be elected to office.

    Both Grodzka and Biedron belong to the progressive Palikot’s Movement (PM) party. The party became the third-largest in parliament in the October 9 election.

    Grodzka said she felt overwhelmed by emotion as the session opened with the national anthem, and when she later took her oath of office.

    It is a symbolic moment, but we owe this symbolism not to me but to the people of Poland because they made their choice. They wanted a modern Poland, a Poland open to variety, a Poland where all people would feel good regardless of their differences. I cannot fail them in their expectations.
