Iirc in early drafts V was a trans woman forced to detransition by norsefire.
I like your theory but won't headcanon it myself.
Tap for spoiler
Because as I see it one of the major points was that V is too broken to do anything but destroy the oppressive regime and take revenge, and in doing so became a Moses figure, meant to lead people to the promised land that they can't enter. V is fundamentally tragic, the human being capable of filling both roles died in the camp. And so what we see of V is someone who shows the good in their heart by shaping Evie, who has also been damaged, but is capable of healing. V could have just as easily not bothered attempting to rebuild, unable to care since everyone worth saving was killed fighting, but Evie was worth saving and if Evie was worth saving then there might be those who deserve a better world Evie could build.
