I just don't get people who say X-Men wasn't "woke" until recently. It never even tried very hard to hide the metaphors...

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.
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.
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...
