Well, that was some silly speculation that I was reporting about: that the offspring of a virginal birth would have one X chromosome and no Y chromosome.
A "Y" chromosome is an incomplete "X" chromosome. Maleness comes from having insufficient genetic material to become female. A human born with only one chromosome would therefore appear male.
