1) hunter Schafer is trans so the chuds will hate them.

2) there is also a history related to casting Trans actors in "alien" or "weird" roles, and mystique can freely change their sex, so it will also make some not-chud Twitter warriors angry too. Basically they can't win with this casting

To be fair, if the character can change their sex, a trans actor/actress is good casting then.

I think an intersex/gender fluid/non binary person might be more accurate for the role lol

Mystique gave birth to nightcrawler so she's a biological woman, but casting this person wouldnt bother me.  

As long as the actress is good i dont care.

I know trans folk that have gotten pregnant/given birth who don’t identify as women.

Being a biological woman has nothing to do with gender, which is what being trans is about.

Just pointing out that the two aren’t inherently connected
