Whether this happens due to a clerical error or genetic abnormality (there exist XY females or XX males; I believe both types of people are usually sterile though I'm not sure. I do recall reading that single-X females and XXY males are sterile.)

They are still genetically male or female.They are sterile. XO (Turner syndrome), XXY (Klinefelter syndrome), XXX (poly-X syndrome), and XYY (Jacob syndrome). No matter how many X chromosones there are, any individual with a Y chromosone developes into a male. These abnormalities are so few, only one in thousands occur.

So much for the "gay" gene - - it does not exist.

You are able to throw out the lingo, but you know nothing about this topic, obviously.

Androgen Insensitivity Syndrome (AIS) occurs in individuals who are XY, but develop in females. Maybe you should do some reading on it.
