It is partly true, thats also why men have nipples lol.

Although the sex is determined from conception, a foetus will start to develop as a girl first. This is why you cant tell the sex of a baby untill after a certin time

Yep that's right. We are all female from the start, the nipples develop before the sexual organs so thats why both sexes have them.

It is true that all babies starting developing from the X chromosome first (it's the X chromosome that holds most the human template) but in males the Y chromosome is present for the second the sperm fertilizes the egg.
The nipples develop before the sexual organs (and before the testosterone begins to kick in) and a certain amount of estrogen present in all men so there are similarities, but i wouldn't say that there is any ambiguity over how the sex organs develop or what they develop as. (i.e develop so far AND then decide whether to put the genitals on the inside or outside).

Maybe I got it wrong but that's the way I always understood it.

Meh

I knew we all start out as girls, so to speak, but I read that it's the clitoris that becomes the penis...I felt so weird typing the word "Clitoris." lol I had a 40 year old woman ask me what it was one time. I was like..."If you don't know by now..what the hell does it matter?" lol

StirCrazy & Cheyanne are right......the minute the sperm meets the egg, the sex is determined, but for the first 5 weeks (I think it is), we are all girls, until the further development of the sex organs is started, and yes it is the clitoris that becomes the penis! So all in all, you are all right
