What happens when the crazy woke ppl discovers that cables have binary-gender terminations?
Discussion
True. We've had gender-changers for many decades π
An infrastructure nightmare..
Insert the they/them connector to the they/them port
Use an adapter to change gender
They modify the terminations and cause hazards for themselves. π€£
Ahem... -RP?
They will rename it to male bodied adapter and birthing person adapter
Gender neutral plugs and then β οΈ when they short circuit two outlets
Everything would have to be multiplexed.
Pour one for those db losses never recovered.
I thought USB-C would finally be the end to cable ends... Turns out, it's not inclusive enough. Back to the drawing board.

I must admit I was a bit irritated when I first learned as a kid, that these plugs were "male" and went into the "female" counter parts. Who even came up with this in the first place? Electric plugs don't look very "male" to begin with.

Anderson powerpoles are the modern choice. Not gendered at all, all are equal. Spooning is literally the most cuddly option.
With Anderson you get into a color debate, and due to the lack of gender ppl sometimes make the pairs with wrong polarization. I keep a βnormalβ sample in the crimp box just as example of how to oppress the wrong kind.
Something superfluous like cable-with-end-that-inserts and cable-with-end-that-will-be-inserted-into will be adopted
The words will change. Like how there was an attempt to change Master/Slave to Parent/Child in programming standards.
