Belgium has appointed Europe's first transgender deputy prime minister.

Petra De Sutter, a gynecologist and Green party member of the European Parliament, was sworn into Belgium's coalition government, making her the most senior trans politician in Europe.

Her appointment ends a deadlock after an inconclusive election which left Belgium without a fully fledged government for more than a year.

‘Incredibly grateful for the confidence I have received from my party!,’ De Sutter wrote on Twitter. ‘Now I can do whatever it takes to relaunch our country and work on a new future for all Belgians together with that government!’

She has spoken openly about her experience as a trans woman and is a vocal advocate for the LGBTQ+ community.

‘Yet the sad reality is that even as an adult I felt discriminated. I was forty when I decided to fully become the woman that I always were (sic) and because of this decision I lost colleagues, people I knew and even friends.’
