The odds on that are only 1/1024 so like not even that improbable to happen, talk to me when you get 30 in a row
My (real-life) uncle had 3 sons and 6 daughters; two sons died childless, the third has three daughters.
I can't remember who it was at the moment*, but I remember a player in the Baseball Hall of Fame had six brothers and seven sisters-- born in that order. His parents had seven sons, and then seven daughters.**
*I want to say Rabbit Maranville or Pie Traynor or Gabby Hartnett... definitely one of those players from around WWI who was so known by a weird nickname it's basically their name; it's just there are a lot of them that fit that description.
**Or maybe seven daughters and then seven sons. The important thing is they weren't mixed together.

My grandma had 13 grandsons and one granddaughter. When I turned out to be a boy as well she cried.
I remember when I was playing in Tibet one time I got either 12 or 14 daughters and then Child #13 or #15 was a boy but died a sickly infant. One of the few times I genuinely got a game over because I had Agnatic succession.
I like trying to preserve my vassal noble houses , as well as my own dynasty. Once , when playing as Brittany , I had a House De Vitre. Through six generations the House De Vitre only once produced a son who lived to adulthood , and this was despite my giving four different members of that family four different counties. Trying to keep that family from going extinct was a real hassle.
--- But the plot thickens ; In ANOTHER game playing as Brittany I again wound up with the House De Vitre , same Coat of Arms too , and , AGAIN , the House De Vitre was notorious for turning out only females. In that game , too , in every generation I had to keep an eye on third daughters that I could marry off matrilleneally so the House wouldn't go extinct.
I know these are all strictly random dice roll types of things , never the less ........
In four different games I had to resort to adultery to save the House of El Cid because they were consistently infertile breeders.
In now five or six play throughs I have never failed to convert the first generation of children of the Merovingians to my culture . But , in five or six play throughs , it has never taken me less than five generations to convert the House of Welf to my culture.

If you're in Tibet, can't you just take a Zhangzhung or Sumpa province, convert to local culture, and instantly have access to all gender laws?
That's very unlikely, but not impossible that math is:
Which would be every 1024th incident.
Code:
(1/2)^10 = 0.1%I was trying to do the Sakya Trizin achievement, so I was playing in 1066. By then both of those cultures are basically extinct, and I didn't have any access to them. I forget what happened exactly, but I died waiting to change the laws.
I've had this happen a couple of times before. It's very annoying as Male Only inheriting but you can get some strong matrilineal marriages and have some Amazing Grandsons as your next Heir

With agnatic succession your grandsons only inherit if there is no other male dynasty member (roughly)
Which makes for a really fun early game in this situation as it's now a fight between your eldest Daughters to have the first Son and have you killed to themselves become Queen Mother!
Excellent; now throw in some mods, convert to Zoroastrianism or Messalianism, and you'll be on your way to having 10 wives!
