The male determines the sex of the child and some men are more likely to sire one sex or the other. But, no matter what sex children he's had in the past, his next child is as likely to be a boy or a girl as his first.
What has happened in the past does not affect the odds in the future. That is a man's chances of having a boy after having two girls is the same as it was when he had his first girl. But, because he's had two girls it may suggest he's more likely to sire girls than boys.
