A family or group that is known for producing only sons or daughters, sometimes over the course of multiple generations. The reasons may be magical in nature, unknown or examples of Artistic License – Biology, and when there is an exception to this rule this individual tends to be important. While uncommon in Real Life, this trope is actually Truth in Television.
Compare Single Line of Descent, which has a series of only children that are usually all male due to Lineage Comes from the Father, and Resentful Outnumbered Sibling, where one sibling out of a group dislikes that their other siblings are the opposite sex. Contrast with One-Gender Race, when a species simply doesn't have any members of a different sex. Recurrent instances of this may result in Gender Rarity Value.
Contrast Bizarre Alien Sexes and Queer as Tropes for scenarios where more than two genders or sexes are involved. See also Hereditary Twinhood, which is where multiple births run in families (which can sometimes overlap with this trope).

The Scotsman in Samurai Jack during the 50-year Time Skip in Season 5 has made enough children to form a small army out of them, and he doesn't have a single son out of them all.

In the Dragon Age series, Andraste only gave birth to two daughters during her lifetime, while her sons were actually her stepsons through her husband's concubine, and one of her daughters herself only had girls. The Chantry believes Andraste's lineage has only produced girls since then, but this may just be propaganda to justify keeping the Orlesian Chantry led by women and automatically disqualify any man who claims descent from her from claiming a leadership role. Notably, any actual proof of who her descendants are was lost due to a combination of Tevinter society being patriarchal and patrilineal (which is why their Divine is a man), records being lost during the second Blight, Andraste being so enraged that one of her daughters married a Tevinter magister that she destroyed the records herself, and her daughter, Vivial, destroying many more records for reasons known only to her.

The Ranma ½ second Non-Serial Movie Nihao My Concubine revolves around the Traveling Landmass Togenkyo, an island which houses a magical spring that turns any living creature touched by its water into a human man, regardless of its original sex or species. The problem is that this spring contaminates the other water sources on the island, and as a result, women who reside there can only give birth to male children. Consequently, Togenkyo is forced to raid ships and islands, kidnapping a fresh supply of new women to become spouses for the male residents and ensure the population survives.

The webcomic version of Diary of a Wimpy Kid has the Matthews family, who would later become the Hills family in the books. They have a mother, a father, and five daughters— Lori (the inspiration for Heather), Piper (the inspiration for Holly), Jennifer, and two unnamed daughters. Greg's dad Frank teases Mr. Matthews that if he had a hundred more kids, they'd all be girls, and Greg (who has crushes on Piper and Lori) says that if Mr. Matthews did have a hundred more daughters, the world would be a more attractive place.

X: The reptilian Teladi discovered, after being separated from their homeworld due to the Portal Network shifting, that they can alternately reproduce by parthenogenesis: their eggs will always develop as female if unfertilized. This resulted in them effectively becoming a One-Gender Race even after they rediscovered their home planet and incorporated it into their corporatocracy.

In the Chronicles of Prydain, the royal family of Llyr seems to produce only daughters. Princess Eilonwy herself says that hers are "the people of Llyr Half-Speech, the Sea King," but for at least the last several generations, the line has been strictly matrilineal with no known male offspring. Princess Angharad, Eilonwy's mother, ran away from the family castle to marry against her own mother's wishes, and died when Eilonwy was too small to remember her; Eilonwy is said to be the last surviving descendant of the House of Llyr.

Jane the Virgin: According to Jane, her family only has daughters (evidenced by how the only maternal relatives we see are her mother Xo, her grandmother Alba, her great-aunt Cecilia, and Cecilia's granddaughter Catalina), so Jane doesn't even bother thinking of a masculine name for the child she accidentally conceived with Rafael. It turns out to be a son, prompting some Last-Minute Baby Naming.

Yes, Your Grace: Eryk has three daughters, and it's revealed at some point in the game that it may or may not be because he was cursed to never have a heir while living in a setting in which Heir Club for Men is in place. During the game, Eryk can have a fourth child and choose to accomplish a magical ritual to make it a boy. If the ritual is skipped or has complications that require its reversal to save the mother's life, it will be a girl, which only reinforces the possibility that the curse is real.

In Dance in the Vampire Bund members of the Tepes family, who are vampire royalty, only produce daughters. Late in the manga we find out there's actually a very good reason for this: The Tepes women were all sired by the Darkness on the original vampire Queen, but none of them until Mina was actually fertile so when a new one was needed she was simply taken out of stasis. The reason for the Strong Family Resemblance between all of the Queens is that they were all sisters.

Night World: In the backstory, Hunter Redfern married Maeve Harman both as part of an alliance and in order to get a male heir, but they ended up having four daughters before separating because they couldn't stand each other. Hunter tweaked the inheritance laws so that the descendants of his eldest daughter Garnet could carry the Redfern name, though the family remains patriarchal. It turns out in Black Dawn that Hunter did have one son, Chervil, from a previous marriage, but after they quarrelled Chervil disowned his father and took off by himself to found his own dynasty.

In Gundam Wing the Winner family has 29 daughters and a single son, protagonist Quatre. All of them were test tube babies due to the difficulty early space colonists had with natural births except him, since his mother insisted on carrying him and giving birth naturally and suffered Death by Childbirth for it.

When her septa attempts to comfort her by claiming it won't happen, Sansa reminds her that Oberyn Martell fathered eight children and Jory Cassel five, and all of them were girls.

The first "season" of World's End Harem reveals that most children born after the MK virus wiped out nearly all male humans were female. Any attempts to create baby boys from alternative birthing options (save regular heterosexual sex) only resulted in more girls or a very rare but terminally ill boy.

Ascendance of a Bookworm: Past a certain point of the story, the protagonist is passed off as the formerly Sent Into Hiding daughter of a noble family. The family in question seems to be extremely prone to producing boys, starting with the paternal grandfather:
The aforementioned grandfather sometimes refers to the protagonist as "his only granddaughter".
Per her official lineage, she has three older full brothers and a younger paternal half-brother via Exotic Extended Marriage.
She goes to Wizarding School at the same time as a cousin with whom she officially shares her paternal grandfather. The cousin is male and the child of her official father's paternal half-brother.

In Girl Genius the Heterodyne family is known for only producing sons with two known exceptions: Euphrosynia, The Lost Lenore of Andronicus Valois the Storm King, and Agatha, the protagonist of the comic. In Agatha's case it's strongly implied that she was engineered somehow to be a host body for her mother Lucrezia. (There's also a scattering of female-looking names in the crypt, but it's possible they're only Heterodynes by marriage. Even if they're not, it still seems as if the Heterodynes are predominantly male.)

Kill Six Billion Demons: The Immortal Ruler Solomon David has fathered twenty-five generations of sons to serve as his councilors. The imbalance isn't addressed or explained, but his story arc which shows that he was once a normal man whose wife and daughters were killed by a lesser demiurge does make clear that he blinds himself to his own biases and the flaws in his "Law of Kings".

The Accursed Kings: It's noted that the royal family of France had always produced enough heirs (King Phillip IV alone had three sons) to prevent a Succession Crisis, so when all three of those sons inherit the crown one after the other and still die without male issue (only Phillip V had a son, but he died in infancy) it causes a crisis like no other in living memory, as the only available candidates are the king's nephew (an amiable incompetent) and his grandson (who is English), leading to the Hundred Years' War.

The Reed Sisters. Four girls, albeit with boyish nicknames to satisfy their father who hoped for at least one boy. Their mother herself has a brief fantasy of what life would have been like had she had four boys instead. Even the half-sibling (the result of their father's affair) discovered in season 4 turned out to be yet another sister.

Malcolm in the Middle: The central family of the series, the Wilkersons, are remarkable for the fact that all of their children are boys: Francis, Reese, Malcolm, Dewey and Jamie. The final episode of the series concludes with the revelation that the mother, Lois, is pregnant again, but we never learn what gender this unborn child is.

A Song of Ice and Fire:
In the backstory, Rhaenyra Targaryen had five sons, Jaecaerys, Lucerys, Joffrey, Aegon and Viserys. She gave birth to one daughter, Visenya, but unfortunately the baby was stillborn. Rhaenyra was devastated by the loss of her only daughter, and blamed the stillbirth on her stepmother and half-siblings for stealing her throne. She did however have two stepdaughters whom she appeared fond of (such as betrothing them to her two eldest sons and heirs).
Oberyn Martell in the present day has eight children by five different woman. All of these children are female.

Pokémon: Certain Pokemon, like Combee, have the most skewed sex ratios, of 1/8, so that their eggs hatch with this kind of gender distribution. Combee are majority male. For Combee, this guarantees Vespiquen rarity, as they only evolve from female Combee.

In Kamisama Kiss Nanami's family only gives birth to girls, and only a single girl each generation due to a curse/blessing started from Yukiji that can only end when a girl of their line and Tomoe fall in love again. This makes the finale even more significant when it shows the child Nanami has is a boy, indicating that the curse's conditions have been fulfilled.

Parodied in an NSFW strip from Oglaf. The barbarian Kronar declares that his bloodline has been "free from woman's taint" for generations, meaning the men reproduce and give birth all on their own. When a daughter is born Kronar orders the "bow of shame" put on her head as she's thrown into a pit of wolves, but after she kills the wolves Kronar accepts her as his "son."

A major source of tension in Bequeathed from Pale Estates for the Targaryen loyalists, since the last surviving princess from this bloodline has married Oberyn Martell — who's infamous for his sexual appetite leading him to sire eight bastards, none of them being boys. As only sons can hope to take the Iron Throne, the loyalists are left praying for their princess to defy the odds — literally for Lord Velaryon who won't stop attending mass. Hints scattered through the narrative hint at it working, to Oberyn and the other Martell' sheer bafflement.

In Blindsprings, prior to the Revolution, the Llyn royal family of Aberwelle had only produced daughters, and none of them had any luck producing the next generation, either dying or being infertile. Royal Inbreeding was the likely cause for some of these issues, as most Orphic families were somewhat inbred to try and preserve their magic.

In Firebird Trilogy, the Angelo royal line of Netaia has born only daughters for several generations (men marrying into the line take the name). This turns out to be a Checkovs Gun: the genetic disorder that causes this arose among the telepathic Ehretans, and is the first hint that a lost Ehretan lineage interbred with the Angelo line.

Charmed (1998): Ever since Melinda Warren in the 17th Century the Halliwell family has exclusively had daughters which leads to a great deal of surprise when Piper's first child turns out to be a boy. Her second child is also a boy while the third is a girl. The Distant Epilogue to the series, and the follow-up comics, establish that Phoebe has three daughters while Paige has twin girls and adopts a son.

In The Diamond Girls, Sue Diamond has four daughters and only has a son after unexpectedly getting pregnant about ten years after having her last daughter. And then it turns out that her fifth child is a daughter as well, though she spends most of the novel hiding this from disappointment and embarrassment, as she was so sure she was having a boy. Martine, the eldest daughter, becomes pregnant and the family speculates she could have a son, though they don't know either way.
