Well that's interesting!
Elected for one term as the Alberta NDP MLA for Strathcona-Sherwood Park in the 2015 general election, Cortes-Vargas was the first person in any Canadian legislature to have come out as non-binary. They did not re-offer in 2019 but they are the reason why PoliCan now explicity identifies and tracks persons who identify as such.
