      The new party...the Palicot Movement...won about 10% of Sunday's parliamentary vote...and after all votes are tallied...one of its candidates...Anna Grodzka, 57...could be the first transgender MP.
     "If I'm elected in Krakow, I'll be Poland's first transgender woman, and the only transgender MP not only in Poland, but the entire world," she said. "In New Zealand, there was Georgina Beyer, but she is no longer an MP since 2007," Ms Grodzka added.
     "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," she added.
