One of the world’s only openly trans politicians has spoken out against the ‘numerous death threats’.

Anna Grodzka has discussed some of the most extremist transphobia she has encountered while in office.

‘I’ve been shouted at many times, called names on the street, there has been numerous death threats on the internet,’ she told Gay Star News through a translator.

The 59-year-old, who has been a member of parliament since 2011, said neo-Nazi groups were the ‘biggest problem in Poland’.

She said: ‘[These groups] aim at fighting and removing LGBT people from public life.

‘They have numerously attacked my parliamentary office by breaking windows, by tearing off the plaque or drawing Nazi symbols on the door.’

Grodzka recalled when she called a meeting at her office, bringing together activists and politicians to help further equality, when a neo-fascist group threw smoke grenades into the room.

Another instance was when a LGBT charity came up with a campaign showing the parents of gay people.

‘One neo-Nazi group took the posters and recorded a video and put it on YouTube,’ she said. ‘They set the posters from the trams, as well as the plaque from my office door, on fire.’

Grodzka is currently working on a civil partnership bill in a hope to same-sex unions legal, as well as a bill to make trans people’s lives a little easier.

It will be difficult, as Poland’s constitution specifically defines marriage as between a man and a woman. There are also no protections for transgender people.
