The author presents the story of Elżbieta Lubarczyk (born Eligiusz in the mid-1940s in Lower Silesia in Polanf), one of the first transgender women to have changed their gender in Poland. She did it in the late 70s of the twentieth century.
Her story can be easily associated with Lili Elbe. "Eligius" and "Einar" are artists and painters. They have relationships with women. The former with two, with whom he marries and has two children - in this case, it distinguishes him from Einar. In addition, Eligiusz's wives are not painters. Both abandon painting when they are seriously considering turning into women.
