like, how would public safety be like? i do not have interesting in anything x men due to this, so if someone can answer this question i would be very happy. I know most mutants have powers that are not very dangerous, but like, what about medicine? how would i cure people if so many people have a different biology? how would sports work? there can be no mutant only sports because each mutant has different powers so it would be unfair even if it was that way. If the mutant power triggers after a certain time, what is the safety measures a society can put in place for it? like if my powers is releasing lasers and i start uncontrolably releasing lasers and killing people, how would this be dealty with to avoid deaths? if i was not a mutant and a mutant burglar broke into my house, what could i do? this is not a criticism to x men, they might have answered all of these questions idk.

I don’t know the answer to your question.
But I will say that this is kinda one of the big points of House of X. Essentially, Xavier comes to the conclusion that coexistence is not viable. So him and a bunch of other mutants go form their own nation in the Pacific, made up solely by and for mutants.
As for your main question, I would guess that they wouldn’t do specialized infrastructure or anything solely due to there not being enough to really necessitate it. Before Genosha there were ~18 million mutants in the world, so a fraction of a percentage of the world’s population. After Genosha it went from 18 to ~1 million so even smaller. Then, even of those 1 million, most can function just fine in human society as long as the prejudice is gone. It’d be a fraction of a fraction of a fraction of the population. It’d be easier to just have Beast or whoever help the individuals that need it rather than make societal changes.

These are big points behind the constant prejudice against mutants.
Iirc there was one comic where a teenage boy’s mutant power awakened. But his power was that every person within a few miles of him died. So everyone in that town just died because of something that couldn’t have been predicted
