By the end of at least book 5 Tanya gives up trying to self-assert (so, she only thought it, never tried to get anyone else to call her a man) that she's a man and accepts that she's a girl because she's biologically female, and Tanya is too logical to ignore biology. (Though she tried to deny this for a while to spite Being X.)
In the end, she's probably still attracted to women, though, and as her #1 objective is a happy, peaceful life, she would go with whoever makes her the happiest (probably Visha), and would lead to her having the most peaceful (and successful) life possible (not necessarily Visha. It depends on NOT!Imperial Germany's stance on homosexuality is).
With their magitech, they can probably vat grow children with any DNA they get so long as there are enough X chromosomes, so two women can have kids that way, though the kid will always be a girl. (We can do this today with IPS cells, but NOT!Germany has magic, so they can probably get to it faster.) If this is true, then there may not be so much of a problem with lesbian mages in NOT!Germany, due to them being able to have kids still. Plus, I can only assume that if two mages have a kid, the kid probably has at least as much potential as the median between the parents, so Tanya and Visha's kid would be pretty damn strong.
Honestly, Tanya "Argent" Von Degurechaff can probably get away with just about anything if she survives the war. Though the Empire does lose the war. (This is shown in the Manga pretty early on, it's not huge spoilers. Like, in Chapter 11 I think.)
She would be tried as a war criminal by whoever won, though, that's for damn sure. Thing is, though, the flashforwards that they do make it out that no-one knows who Tanya is, so she could have just escaped to NOT!Argentina with Visha or something.
