Aren't you tired of "the first...the first...the first"? woman, Cuban-born, gay, whatever.

Why make a big deal of every possible distinction? Sort of like this:
When they start to run out of “first woman who” and “first mixed-parentage cousin of a refugee who” and so on, will we stretch to “first Gemini married to a Capricorn who” and “first ex-yoga teacher who never watched Mr. Rogers as a kid who” and “first off-planet-born speaker of Serbo-Croatian who plays piano with hands reversed who”?
Why don’t we stop making a big deal of every little difference, as if all differences were barriers of some kind, and instead emphasize community and commonality?
