I mean, if you believe the holy spirit put a baby in Mary, is it that hard to believe the holy spirit ensured there was a Y chromosome?

Most denominations of Christianity don't put much emphasis on the virgin birth. Immaculate Conception, the idea that Mary herself was forgiven of Original Sin when she was conceived, is the more important bit.
