What would happen if you cloned a man but you replaced his y chromosome with a second (identical to the one he has) x chromosome? How also would this imply any "natural" eggs (and potentially children) to be? I suppose perhaps a more roundabout question is what if a woman had 2 identical x Chromosomes

Two identical X chromosomes would not have any unusual effects. It would just guarantee that you'd express any recessive X-linked traits you happened to have.

There are a lot of genes on an x-chromosome, you’d be nearly guaranteed to strike a double copy of some recessive genetic dysfunction.

”Cloning” as it stands today means inserting a genome into an already fertilized egg. So a regular female (XX-genotype) would develop

I only have the one X chromosome anon, and it doesn't seem to have caused any noticeable problems.

Ah good point, although YWNBAW

yeah but how would this effect meiosis in the individual? Would they just be guaranteed to pass down their identical x chromosome again to their egg or would they lose genetic material during the process of meiosis?

Yeah but we have a Y Chromosome as well which inactivates usage of much of the X Chromosome (the genes which make us able to have female children and gives our daughters quite literally an identical copy of one of our chromosomes)
I've not heard of any cases where women have identical X chromosomes and wonder just how many issues that would manifest and especially as states how it would effect Meiosis and egg production

What? X chromosome inactivation happens in women, not in men. Its necessary to prevent over-dosage or certain gene products.
There's no reason why a woman with two identical X chromosomes would be any different from some inbred woman with almost identical X chromosomes. They would just have a higher risk of X-linked disorders, like men do.
