The sex of the parent species determines the species of a hybrid offspring
the verdict
REFUTED
the evidence says no
confidence 9/100
The species and traits of a hybrid offspring are determined by complex genetic and chromosomal incompatibilities between parental genomes rather than simply the sex of the parent species.

Prdm9 Intersubspecific Interactions in Hybrid Male Sterility of House Mouse.
2020 · cited by 27
Paper [0] shows that hybrid sterility in mice is driven by specific allelic incompatibilities such as Prdm9, rather than simply the sex of the parent species.

Genetic and karyotype divergence between parents affect clonality and sterility in hybrids.

Paper [1] demonstrates that hybrid outcomes depend on genomic and karyotype divergence across a phylogenetic spectrum rather than the parental sex determining the offspring species.
Haldane's rule and heterogametic female and male sterility in the mouse
1994 · cited by 7
Paper [2] discusses hybrid sterility and Haldane's rule in terms of heterogamety and genetic interactions, not parental sex determining species outcome.
Male sterility in Drosophila hybrids revealed by a multi-generational transcriptomic analysis of genes and transposable elements in testes.

Paper [7] attributes hybrid sterility and incompatibilities to gene misregulation, transposable elements, and transcriptomic changes in crosses.
