1/2

Male × Female XY × XX

                 GAMETE     X   Y    /     X

       F1 generation      XX              XY

Hence, the probability of having a girl or boy next time is 1/2. If the parents have 5 girls earlier that doesn't affect the ratio ( I mean , that the baby to be a girl has more chance, ie, is not true )
