Lass…calicos are only female.
Confirming. She’s a she.

Calicos can be male, they’re just infertile cause they got extra genes.
Calicos can be XXY, which may present male genitals but is intersexed and both male and female. The genes for color are coded on the X chromosome. That’s why only females are calico.
It’s 2024. Kitty can identify however they wish!

All calicos have 2 X chromosomes. That means they are either female, or in rare cases intersexed XXY with male genitals. There are no strictly male calicos. It’s literally and biologically impossible.

Every article you’ve posted and every article you will post says the same thing.
For a male cat to have a calico pattern, the feline has to have three sex chromosomes: two Xs and a Y. This phenomenon can happen in both humans and animals and is, in either case, known as Klinefelter syndrome.
Again, they may present with male genitals, but genetically they are both male and female. There are no male calico cats. It’s literally impossible.
