The underlying factor here is if the order of the children matter.

If we were to look solely at the end result, we can consider bg and gb to be the same possibility, i.e. the results are only:
two boys
one boy and one girl
two girls
Possibility of two girls is ruled out thus only leaving the result to be either two boys or one boy and one girl. In this case, it would be 50-50.
If the order of it matters, the original topic says -nothing- about order until this post.
