Calicos can be male, they're just infertile cause they got extra genes.

[–] Bonehead@kbin.social 2 points 1 year ago

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.
