I agree it works in most cases it works fine but like "First woman astronaut" feels weird.

I mostly didn't want to be accidentally participating in something shitty.

Edit: or like "fastest woman athlete"

Yeah, I remember feeling like it was weird, but both of those sound absolutely fine to me now.

I also would never balk at "female" as an adjective in those cases, nor assume the speaker was being misogynist.
