nah dude don't worry I definitely understand how it works. The plants genetically are xx females but since both received parental alleles are from the same plant (which is genetically inclined towards hermaphrodite-ism) then the offspring has a much higher chance of turning hermi if the proper environmental conditions are met (generally stress from light at night or drought etc). It's not that every single seed resulting from a hermi plant is guaranteed to produce a hermi, but the potential is much higher because the genes from both parent sides contain the gene coding for hermi.
If they naturally become hermaphrodites without your environmental triggers, then the offspring will more than likely become hermies without much provocation what so ever.
Now if you purposefully induce a male stamen with something like STS, then you will have feminized seeds that are stable.
Or at least is my understanding of it.

when I say environmental triggers I mean pretty much anything that happens
like, them reaching appropriate sexual maturity can be a trigger. watering can be a trigger. basically anything in an environment can trigger an expression of a phenotype if the genetic coding is correct.
