*Au contaire*. Like all questions of this kind it depends on the wording. Let $S$ be an inhabited set of inhabited sets, so we are **given** $x_0\in X_0\in S$. If we are also **given** bijections $f_{X,Y}:X\cong Y$ for each pair $X,Y\in S$ then in particular we have $f_{X_0,Y}:X_0\cong Y$. Therefore we have a defined element $y=f_{X_0,Y}(x_0)\in Y$ for each $Y\in S$. No Choice required, if the question is understood in this way. Indeed, by substituting "inhabited" for "non-empty", Excluded Middle is also avoided.
