That's a pretty neat headcanon! I also like the idea that Loki was always genderqueer and pansexual and got his start of villainy by lashing out against Asgard's heteropatriarchal social norms -- it's pretty telling that the more comfortable with themself (and their gender and sexuality) they are, the less villainous they are.
(The issue of Lady!Loki pre-Siege is complicated by the fact that it isn't Loki's body. It's Loki possessing Sif's body so Sif will die a mortal death, so I'm hesitant to use it as any sort of evidence of Loki's gender issues. That said, I seem to remember Doom being unsurprised at Loki being suddenly female.)
I'm 100% adopting the idea that Loki created their own slash fandom as a means to change their story though. (Also the supervillain Loki is just a pale shadow of the real Loki from the real myths I resemble that remark, lmao. Also also, some time ago you asked me about my feelings about Agent of Asgard. They're here.)
