Hermaphroditic connectors are a thing, and it’s not what usb c is. Wikipedia has a good article. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gender_of_connectors_and_fast

  Huh, thanks for the article: I've learned a bunch of new terms that we still can't use anymore because they refer to gender and they're transphobic. The guidance said to use terms like "plug" and "port" and "jack" and stuff. Although isn't the latter rather sexual???

    Sexual doesn't have harmful or derogatory overtones, it's neutral.

      Yeah, well, you know, that's just like, uh, your opinion, man. https://youtu.be/Z-xI1384Ry4 https://youtu.be/Z-xI1384Ry4 The guidance says that referring to "gender" is offensive, and so the guidance lists preferred terms that replace the "gender-based" offensive ones. That's the opinion of the folks who wrote the guidance.
