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.
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.
Call them whatever you want. Genetically they are male and female. This is simple biology, which is apparently much more complex than you seem to understand.
You are now annoying me. Have a nice day.
He's right. You are just being really stubborn. The fact you think biological sex is simple is a big giveaway you don't know what you are talking about. XXY is not considered intersex and never has been.
