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.
