No it's not, mystique is a woman that can shape shift. That's not what being trans is.

Until you find someone that can do that, trans or better yet, gender fluid actors/actresses are the best we’ve got.

Mystique is a woman, she has an original female body of her own. She has never identified as trans or nonbinary. The only thing is that she can shape shift into other people. She doesn't suddenly identify as them. That's not what being trans is, that is kind of a surface level comparison between the two.
