Well, you could still be either, but it's impossible for you (guys) to be 
heterozygous on that unmatched strip of chromosome. Is recessive better? 
Depends on the gene, if it's hemophilia, I'd say no. But one more tidbit, 
the X chromosome is essential, you can have just one and live, though you've 
got a "syndrome" if you have only that without a Y or another X. There is no 
case of someone surviving that I'm aware of with only a Y. Not enough info 
on it. It codes for all that maleness stuff.
