if she were XY in this scenario, wouldn’t that mean that she’d pass that trait along to her kids as well?
I could be wrong, but I don’t believe XY females (Swyer syndrome) produce eggs and thus cannot bear their own children.
But a colorblind XX woman who can bear children would give birth to colorblind sons and, if the father of the child is also colorblind, colorblind daughters.
It runs in her family which is how they found out she’s XY, but generally they don’t do karyotype testing if there’s nothing obviously wrong, so there could be a lot of women who are XY and never find out.

There’s at least one case study where an XY female got pregnant and had children.
