Vivian was not “introduced” in the remake as she was present in the original game. Vivian’s gender was inconsistently written as either a transgender woman or a crossdressing male in the original Japanese, and was changed to be a non-trans female in the English version. [Link]

Vivian was always a transgender character in the original Japanese version of Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door. This was removed from the English localization for GameCube and has been restored for the Switch remake. [Link]

In the original Japanese version of TTYD, its implied through dialogue that Vivian is a trans woman, with various other characters and narrative text describing Vivian using masculine terms such as otoko ("man"), and otōto ("little brother"). [Link] [Link]

NNN. Nintendo changed Vivian from a non-transgender character (original localization) to a transgender one. The post is objectively true. [Link]

Vivian is described as a boy who looks like a girl in the original Japanese version of TTYD, released in 2004. However, the term "transgender" is never used in the original script. When other characters accidentally call Vivian a girl, they immediately correct themselves. [Link] [Link]

Vivian is in the original 2004 title, which inconsistently portrays her as either a cross-dressing boy or as a trans woman. The original English localization writes out this aspect altogether. The 2024 remake updates all of the text to clarify that Vivian is a trans woman. [Link] [Link]
