Then $\Hom(F,G)$ has just a single element, namely the natural transformation $\alpha$ that sends every finite set $X$ to the unique map $\alpha_X : 1 \to 1$. Formally, $\alpha$ is a map, modelled as a set of ordered pairs $(X,\id_1)$, where $X$ is a finite set. Hence, $\alpha$ is not a set (since finite sets do not form a set), and therefore $\Hom(F,G) = \{\alpha\}$ is also not a set.'
