Yeah, of course, which is why this is all so baffling. Or would be, if anyone still expected the Culture Warriors™ to have a single clue what they’re talking about.
Also, in the comics, Mystique has been in a lesbian relationship with Destiny since the 80s, and Chris Claremont even planned at one point to have it revealed that Mystique had shapeshifted into a man and fathered Nightcrawler, with Destiny being his mom. That got nixed by the higher ups, but IIRC, the comics actually went back to that idea and made it canon recently.
If you think about it, if you could change your body at will like Mystique or Morph, the only thing stopping you of having all sorts of fun would be your own biases.
I do wonder how a pregnancy would work, tho. Could be an interesting plot point if getting pregnant limited the power
Since the fetus is still a part of her at that point, can she just reform it at will like the rest of her? Could she spontaneously make a baby that’s ready to be born? Disturbing implications…
I saw that was a thing now, that Mystique and Destiny are now canonically Sherlock Holmes and Irene Adler, respectively. That’s the kind of awesome weird shit that makes me want to get back into comics.
Mystique / Raven already transgendered into a bunch of dudes and back into a lady, in the X-Men movies years ago

Wow I didn’t know she could grow a functioning boner.
That’s the part of her power set that makes you go “Now hold up, that’s a little complicated?”
Sounds like a fun time to me.

She also has a wife but that might only be established since krakoa. I haven’t read the classics as I wouldn’t know where to start.
She and Destiny were definitely an item as far back as I was reading (late 80s). I don’t think they had officially tied the knot though.
From what I’ve heard, Mystique is now canonically Sherlock Holmes and met destiny in the late 1800s when she was being a detective in London.
