To me, my X-rule! (lemmy.blahaj.zone)

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...

Mystique / Raven already transgendered into a bunch of dudes and back into a lady, in the X-Men movies years ago

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.

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.
