TLDR XY genetics
X and Y behave separately with the Y portion being a smaller "modifier" portion that forms "male aspects" upon the creature possessing the genes
removing the Y results in nothing but a new variant of the Y gene appearing over time due to natural evolution and competition
any species without a Y genes loses the ability of creating a "male sex" regardless of what niche it occupies biologically. other species who can produce a Y variant will invariably overtake and and kill any competing species who doesn't possess a Y gene as the loss of a Y gene is literally the loss of an ability to produce a smaller subset of creatures within the gene-shared population (IE common folk are way more common then military trained soldiers, but without those soldiers, we would die)
if i'd used real science terms, honestly this comment would easily be over 10X as long
TLDR Y is a genetic modifier upon X, producing genetic "males", whatsoever "male" within the context implies, leading to 50/50 shot of whether not a "special variant" is produced. losing the ability to produce special variants leads to total extinction by basic rules of nature and competition.

I’m in a college biology course right now so I’m loving it.
Perhaps I just made this post to help me with my next exam and to have some intelligent goats school me. 😊

kek, i do work in building AIs and the digital equivalent of living creatures
if i have to ask you some biology questions or questions about the nervous system, maybe i'll PM you
