'Temperature and sex ratios at birth', a new study led by researchers at the Department of Sociology at the University of Oxford and published in Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences (PNAS), provides new evidence that higher temperatures can influence the sex ratio at birth, with important implications for population health and gender balance in a warming world.

      Sounds like high temperatures increase chances for miscarriage for pregnancies with males. It’s not a sex change in womb.
