发布时间：2019-07-29 编辑：查字典英语网小编

波兰首位公开身份的变性人近期在下议院选举中获得19541张支持票，顺利当选为议员。此前，新西兰也曾有一位变性人议员，不过已在2007年卸任。据悉，这位新当选议员之前的生理性别为男性，去年做的变性手术；她追随民主左翼联盟多年，还参与积极以支持同性恋权益、堕胎以及“软性毒品”合法化著称的帕立科运动。当选时，她发表感言，称将致力推动波兰民众接受变性人。

Anna Grodzka has become Poland's first openly transgender parliamentarian.

Grodzka, who transitioned last year, secured a place in the Sejm, the nation's lower house of parliament, reports Warsaw Business Journal.

The politician, who is the founder and president of NGO Trans-Fuzja, received 19,541 votes the Kraków II electoral district.

"Today, Poland is changing. I am the proof along with Robert Biedron, a homosexual and the head of an anti-homophobia campaign who ran for office in Gdynia," Grodzka said.

She also noted the day before her win was confirmed, "If I'll be elected in Krakow, I'll be Poland's first transgender woman, and the only transgender [member of parliament] not only in Poland, but the entire world," adding, "In New Zealand, there was Georgina Beyer, but she is no longer an MP since 2007."

Grodzka joined the Palikot's Movement (RP) after many years with the Democratic Left Alliance (SLD).

Warsaw Business Journal notes that RP is known for its liberal views including supporting LGBT rights, abortion, and legalizing "soft drugs."
