That’s actually a convincing angle, as someone who grew up with blue collar rust belt types. I think what matters more than “the first” is just representation as a whole. It doesn’t matter to me if we celebrate the first gay character on TV, for instance, so long as we have lots of gay characters on TV. So making sure this information is carried to black and trans women especially, but maybe she doesn’t need to be national news for Fox News fodder, yeah. I can see that.
