There are a million factors in gene expression and regulation that will determine how your heredity works out. Pretty much anything can sound plausible with what we know of genetics, regardless of which sex-determination system you're using. | |

Added clarification from comments

| Sep 12, 2018 at 21:29 | comment | added | Cadence | @TylerS.Loeper I was acting under the assumption the OP knew that, since it was in the lead of the article they linked. You're right, though, I'll add in that clarification. | |

| Sep 12, 2018 at 13:17 | comment | added | Tyler S. Loeper | You should probably clarify your answer by pointing out that in order for the female to be sex determining, the female must carry an X and Y, thereby forcing it to the be the XY sex. | |
