Actually, the choices aren’t limited to XX or XY. There are several other possibilities, each of which appear in anywhere from 1/5000 to 1/500 of the population (about 1 in 300 people may have one of the abnormal combinations). These include: XO, XXX, XXY, and XYY.

But those rarer chromosome combinations are still always the same gender. XO is only females (Turner’s syndrome). XXX is always female. XXY is always male. XYY is always male.
