Roman told:
This is precisely the fight with law, because I had very big problems with law. In the matter of transition, because at the moment when I was filing documents, they rejected my lawsuits many times. And I finally succeeded, everything somehow here, as if with one eye they were favorable, and with the other eye unfavorable. (...) So I'm either one step forward or further back. That's what I meant, this message of such a fight. (...) if not for Anka and if not for Lalka [activists from Transfuzja, Poland's main trans rights organization], well I really would have been totally screwed. (...) Yes, it's precisely heading for the better, because now increasingly it's that television shows, many media shows, especially to Polish society, show that we're only normal people, we want to live simply the same way, according to our feelings."
