There are order of magnitude 15x as many gay people as transgendered people, so you’d expect by chance alone that it would be quite rare for a transgender person to be elected to a role that is contested every 4 years and changes every 5 years on average.

I think society will be ready long before the statistical chance of an otherwise front-runner happening to also be transgender is likely to be satisfied.
