If they were fraternal Twins and one was a male, I’d assume the male would be the heir, but what if they were the same gender?

It’s the one born first twins aren’t born side by side lol
It has happen before many times actually. If both are male than the one born first is it.
If it’s male female than even if the female is born first it is the male. Because males have first right to rule. If it’s two females and that is their only kids than it’s first born again.
Okay, I came back to fs roughly an hour ago and saw this comment and did some research. My error comes from my using of the word "is" rather than referring to historic presedence by using "were" in it's place. If I would have done so it would have better portrayed what I had meant.

In this day and age you're correct in your assertion that the majority of monarchical states today aren't following male preference anymore.
-
The numbers are as follows:
24 nations/states have succession laws that gender don't pertain to. (16 of these being under the UK's monarchy)
-
18 nations/states still obtain laws that either only allow male succession or strongly favor male succession.
(You mentioned Spain as the only European country but Lichtenstein also is male succession dominated.)
-
In conclusion you are correct as I fucked up my wording.
