The ace discourse is like the question “Was Barack Obama the first black President of the US?“. There are multiple ideological ways to read the question, and one quite literal and boring one.

official line is that Bill Clinton was first black president, Obama was first female president, Trump was first trans president; yeah I know it doesn’t make sense, but it’s important to have a convention even if it’s nonsensical.
