True. We've had gender-changers for many decades πŸ˜…

An infrastructure nightmare..

Insert the they/them connector to the they/them port

Time to create gender-neutral connectors!

Use an adapter to change gender

Go wireless πŸ€“

The impedance matching would be tricky.

πŸ˜‚ gotta be sure to catch the right wavelength

They modify the terminations and cause hazards for themselves. 🀣

Ahem... -RP?

They will rename it to male bodied adapter and birthing person adapter

Gender neutral plugs and then ☠️ 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.

Your message is resonating with a lot of people.

A new war is brewing, I can smell it πŸ”Œ

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 β€œnormal” 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.

I and everyone i know changed the default back to master/slave. That’s not even to address all the scripts that broke due to branch names. This is all idiotic.

Out of principle every repo I create sticks to the master branch naming for git.
