I thought sex was determined at time of fertilization by the chromosomes. If a sperm carrying a Y chromosome meets an egg carrying an X chromosome, won't the resulting fetus always be male? Is that not the case?

Edge cases exist, some people are xxx, xxy, xyy etc.

General concensus is that if there's a Y in the mix you're biologically male at birth but it's a bit of a grey area
