Also if he hadn’t IVF’d Vivian, she’d have been born the right gender, female
That’s not how ivf works. More likely she wouldn’t have been born at all because she would have had to compete with a few million sperm instead of being specifically chosen in a lab.
It would literally be a different person. Totally different genetic stew. There might be some similarities, there’s the old nature vs nurture argument. I wouldn’t imagine a different person would take the same lessons from the same stimuli every single time though. It’s kind of like comparing you to your sibling. Youre not exactly the same I bet.
Hell, even taking the same exact embryo and swapping the chromosomes so she was AFAB would create a different person. Growing up trans and making the hard choice to transition is part of who she is. If you take that away there would be a chain reaction of differences down the line.

Would that really make much of a different person?
