I guess it depends a bit on what genetic regions we're talking about but to my knowledge since the Y contains so few genes it's not surprising that almost none of them changed for a long time. It's already very stripped-down. I'm far less sure about non-coding regions though, I'd have to check up on that.

From what I can tell the text doesn't contain a lot of new or surprising information, but it does present it in a misleading way.

It's clear that sexual dimorphism in humans is profound in some respects and superficial in others. Since the Y chromosome regulates sexual development, and since males do get some metabolic modifications, saying the Y influences protein synthesis in vital tissues is mostly a truism.

Saying that for example autoimmune diseases with lopsided sex distributions are not connected to sex determination is a fruitless semantics game disconnected from the actual science. To be fair, it's not any more sensationalist than the "rotting Y chromosome" spiel which has been in the press earlier, but all of this is really more a testament to all the things that are wrong with science reporting (and the scientists who enable it) than anything else.
