sooooo was on my svu tag earlier (finding a funny post to send to me friend) and came across gender swap olivia....something about elliot looking kathy in the eyes and saying 'you're the only woman i ever loved' and like, in that moment they both know it isn't technically a lie. but it's also not really the whole truth. also you know when cassidy comes back and gets accused of being inappropriate on the job and he says the only thing he did was sit in the room and talk to that woman. and male!liv knowing that's definitely true because brian wants to fuck dudes. male!liv still adopting noah but having to answer questions about adopting as a single man who is a product of rape then to go on to adopt a male child who is the product of rape. both real liv and male!liv trying to give noah a different childhood than they had in the same way. male!liv finding out about his biological brother. not just another sibling who was kept and loved and had a good relationship with the dad but another BOY who had the life he didn't get. male!liv looking more like his father and brother than his mother. maybe in this universe serena supporting him joining svu. she was always afraid for olivia more than anything and she understood the dangers of the job. and maybe she does feel that for male!liv to some extent in terms of the emotional trauma but feels at least the physical trauma would be different because he is fighting other men (for the most part) and what that conversation in the restaurant would turn into. male!liv wanting the same kind of love and well, worry, from his mother even whilst wanting support but maybe never getting that.
also....one day going to court male!liv spills coffee on his shirt or tie and he has to swap with elliot and maybe kathy is like why is that man wearing the tie i bought you for christmas and why is his coffee stained tie in a box you're taking to italy
