Default Should not Christ be a female?

This is what I understand about genetics.
Males give the y chromosome to produce a male child; the female can contribute only Xs.
However Mary apparently never had sexual intercourse. So if a child is born from her flesh solely, she can give birth only to a daughter.
So Christ underwent a sexchange operaion?

Hrm... I'm fairly sure there's a name for the genetic disorder in which an individual has only a single X chromosome. Klinefelter's Syndrome, perhaps?

And by that logic, does Jesus H. Christ=Jesus Haploid Christ? The world may never know.

Every human has two chromosomes, males have an X and a Y, females have two X's. You have 50/50 odds as to which chromosome is present in a particular gamete. Thus, when an egg is impregnated by the male, there is a 50% chance to be either boy or girl (although in real life males tend to die in the womb more often than females so you don't actually end up with 50/50 birth of males and females).

Christ had to have aquired a Y chromosome from somewhere otherwise he could have only been female. If God provided the Y chromosome, especially without first asking Mary, I think that would fall under rape. And we all know omnibenevolent gods don't rape their children now don't we?

Seeking answers to these questions presumes that the subject actually existed.

Yes Christ is a female. Her name is actually Christine. This scientific fact has been consciously denied by the misogynist power elites since her birth.

Well, lets set aside the fact that virgin birth is an evangelistic invention derived by taking Hebrew scriptures completely out of context and intended to give Jesus a hellenistic-style divine king pedigree.
Therefore, even if we assume the virgin birth we wouldn't need a miracle. Simply because a conception does not require intercourse. Mary and Joseph engaging in heavy petting could do the trick. Improbable but possible and Occam's razor makes the Holy Impregnator superfluous.

No. Most humans have forty-six chromosomes.

The exceptions are usually disabled to a greater or lesser extent.

You are forgetting that there are some people with chromosomal abnormalites, such as Down Syndrome.
