Most GG's have the X-chromosome gene, but since they don't have the ones on the Y chromosome (because they don't have one), they don't develop into guys.
Related to this what's known as "Y decay." The theory is that as time has gone on, the Y chromosome has entered into a state of decay, slowly loosing genetic data. What that means in the long run is anyone's guess.
And maybe its easier to withdraw from life
With all of its misery and wretched lies
If we're dead when tomorrow's gone
The Big Machine will just move on
Still we cling afraid we'll fall
Clinging like the memory which haunts us all

It means the chromosone divided by zero.
