my nursing lecturer was saying how her daughter almost died at birth and the doctor said ‘you’re lucky she’s a girl because girls are more resilient, even from birth’ and she just thought he was comforting her but she researched it later and there had been studies literally done into it

Not even just from birth.  Female fetuses are less likely to miscarry in adverse conditions, such as famine.  It makes sense from an evolutionary standpoint.  If a sexual dimorphic species is to survive, it needs far more females than males.  In nature, males are pretty expendable.
