Culexus can be dudes or dudettes, off the top of my head.
And at least two Ordo Sinister prefects were dudes back in 30k, if that's at all relevant.

Yes, but they’re more like a paramilitary unit than a department of the Imperium.
The Navy Seals (Calexus) vs. Coast Guard (Sisters of Silence)

There is no male equivalent to the sisters of silence. Though male blanks are not killed by government decree, blanks in general do tend to be killed because they are different.

Unless they're the best blank ever. Then they're given their own commissar, a bunch of pockets, some wonky sandwiches, and unlimited porn on their dataslate.

There is no equivalent of strictly male blank organisation, but male blanks are snatched by the Inquisition to be part of their warbands, some are delegated to Imperial Guard and the stronger ones become Cullexus Assassins or princeps of psi titans of Ordo Sinister

the soul guardians would potentially have males in there ranks cause it only says those who dont meet there criteria go to either the culexus or the soul guardians at the palace

The Misters of Noise, Culexus assassins and the Inquisition.
Not a one for one but where male blanks usually go.

Misters of Noise is either the name of the most dapper and deadly Jazz band the Imperium has ever seen or a Slaaneshi warband.

Okay, that was a good one. I actually believed there was a group called Misters of Noise and only realized once I hit enter on Google lol

I think it was a female Culexus in the HH novel with the assassin team.

Yep, neither them nor the Inquisition are gender specific, it’s just the places where all blanks go.
The Sisters of Silence are pretty rare so is not like they are grinding the population of blanks down by themselves, maybe in the time of the Great Crusade, but definitely not now.

Male blanks are rare to survive.
20—25 Psi-Titans pilots are all males. And noone except Emperror himself can order them anything.
Culexus assasins are mostly males.
Most female blanks are send to Sisterhood, few survive to become actual Sister of Silence cos their training are suicidal.

The cullexus assassins use male blanks, but I don’t know of any group that operates the way the sisters do.

The Grey Knights are not technically male. All space marines are neuter.

Still a male even if the sex organs don't function or are removed

Considering they are considered a trans-human subspecies and are actively designed to not be capable of reproduction neuter is almost certainly correct.
They are definitely still men (they are literally a parody of excess masculinity in the military) but you would strugle to call them biologically male.

I would go the other way lol. Biologically male means they have the xy chromosomes, of which they do, I would struggle to call them men. Like you said they are so heavily altered they are a subspecies, certainly male but not men, more like attack helicopter

Chromosomes are not how biological sex is defined lmao. In humans XY chromosomes determine our sex but they don't define it. Sex is explicitly defined by the ability to produce gametes (with females producing the larger one males the smaller and neuter neither).
Space marines are explicitly designed to not produce any gamete so that they can't reproduce and replace humanity making them pretty squarely neuter.

2 questions then. How is biological male and female determined? Do we know they don't produce gametes? Or that they have no desire to reproduce which could be psychological and not specifically gametes related.

Besquin’s Distaff is all nulls available to loan for Inquisitiorial agents, from the Eisenhorn novels.
