Polish transsexual lawmaker Anna Grodzka said on Friday she would run for president in May elections, breaking new ground in the staunchly Catholic country.

Anna Grodzka sits with poise in her leafy suburban home, flicks her hair and gently shoos away her cat. The 57-year-old is still coming to terms with being elected Poland's first-ever transsexual lawmaker for an anti-clerical party that is locking horns with conservatives in overwhelmingly Catholic Poland.
