An account of (possibly, of course) a trans man in interwar period Poland:
Failed wedding of a woman with another woman.
A sensational discovery in Grodno.
GRODNO, 21.8. A few months ago a young local clerk, Józef Woronicz, had gotten engaged with Miss B. Their wedding was to be held in the coming days. Meanwhile, Mrs J. Swatkowska from Vilnius had come to a parish priest in Grodno, showing documents proving that Woronicz had married her a year ago and that soon after it was officially revealed that he was... a woman, dressed in men's clothing.
The documents with the name of Józef Woronicz were given to her during the war, when she served in the academic legion as a soldier, dressed as a man.
