How is it not specifically mentioned...? They stated that his parents are a fairy and a human. That's explicitly stating that he is a hybrid.

Whether or not there are male fairies is irrelevant because he's not a fairy. He's male because he has male human genes. He's half-fairy, but that half doesn't necessarily limit him to being the only gender fairies can be. He is the unique example proving this.

Going by your logic, we have to rethink our system for species. The Black Fairy cannot simultaneously be of the fairy species and give birth to a 100% human child. This makes her human. If these species are all just humans + magic, we should not list them as mermaids, genies, or fairies, because they're just humans.

However, staying consistent with how we've been doing it, which I have no problem with, Rumple has to be half-fairy. I'm fine with considering his descendants human because they are mostly human, but Rumple is an even split.

Just because the human side is the dominant trait doesn't change that the other half exists. And again, we don't know that, because we've never seen any other half-fairy offspring. It's possible that all half-fairy offsprings are identical to Rumple regardless of their other species. But he's the only example.
