ngl it kinda looks like it has a little bit of gender going on

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.

"sexual mishap warning" had me expecting a personal story of some sort and so I was just getting more and more confused reading your reply for a while.
