Anna Grodzka (born 16 March 1954) is a Polish politician. 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,[1] and the third openly transgender member of a national parliament worldwide, after Georgina Beyer (in office 1999–2005) and Vladimir Luxuria (2006–2008). She was believed to be the only remaining transgender member of parliament[2] until Nikki Sinclaire (in office 2009–2015) outed herself in November 2013.
In June 2014, Anna Grodzka joined Poland's Green Party[3] but left a year later. In 2019, she became a member of PPS, which she also left soon after criticizing the party's chairman.[4][5]
