Marvel Studios EVP of Production and Captain Marvel Producer Victoria Alonso certainly thinks so.

As society continues to... progress...(yeah, lets call it that), a new world order is taking shape. Almost EVERYONE now lives in perpetual fear of being called racist/sexist/misogynist/homophobic etc. for little more than drawing air. Everything said, done, seen or heard is perpetually micro-analyzed for anything that in any way could possibly offend anyone to even the smallest degree. The offending person or thing can then be rooted out and cast from polite society, never to be... again!
Cast into that widening gyre... the X-Men! Heroic mutants that have become the symbol of all marginalized groups and must now micro-conform to that or perish.
You can understand the reasoning... what with the term 'men' now synonymous with hate, misogyny, homophobia, transphobia, 'toxicity' and just plain evil it clearly is no longer appropriate for inclusion in the name of a team of ostensible heroes. Likewise, inclusion itself is now the most important thing for society in general and any group in particular, and having men in the name is clearly the opposite of inclusion, unless you want to include men, and who would want to include awful things like that?
So, what should the X-Men now be called?
The feminist/lesbian spelling of "woman" has been "Womyn" for some time. Perhaps that should gives us a lead?
'X-Myn', their time has come?

Marvel Studios EVP of Production and Captain Marvel Producer Victoria Alonso has a bone to pick with the X-Men. Asked about Marvel's future and the X-Men's involvement in it, she shared her issue with the team name.
"I don't know where the future is going," Alonso told Nuke the Fridge. "It's funny that people call it the X-Men. There's a lot of female superheroes in that X-Men group, so I think it's outdated."
"I don't know where it's going to go. They just now have joined," she added. "They actually have a movie coming out very soon, which is under that banner as their last film. So we'll see what time will tell."
