    Although the illustration shows threads on one connector of the pair, all connectors contain a retractable male thread which can be revealed or retracted by turning the outer locking nut. Any two can be mated by retracting the thread in either one and leaving it protruding in the other.

    Sexual Mishap Warning: Do not try to retract male connectors by twisting nuts on yourself or your partner unless your genitals are an APC-7 connector. Organic connectors will not retract and testicular torsion can be deadly.

    Note: Above warning does not necessarily apply to custom organic, semi-organic, or inorganic genitals of cyborgs or transhumanists. Please refer to the appropriate manual for guidance on safely operating the specific model in question.

    So it's less genderless and more hermaphroditic. Got it.

    If it's genderless how come they have a clear difference between which one connects where? One of them is still going into the other. 🤨

    The moving connection makes it genderfluid if anything.

    For example, an APC-7 to type N (f) cost $105 in 1979.

    Yikes that makes SMA/B, BNC and the like look cheap.
