Going forward, it's best to reframe claims as statements rather than questions. So this one could be "Claim: There is a disproportionate ratio of men to women."

As of currently, it does seem like global population for men to women is disproportionate, with more population of men to women. However, it is possible for this to eventually not be the case, as people have learned from past traditions to not have the same biases towards male babies.

Good job providing an explanation and source. Don't forget to add a rating to your fact-check. For this one you might use "true, not misinformation." For more information on ratings, see the sidebar of this page.
