Are the terms male connectors and female sockets problematic?

How long will such heteronormative language be allowed to continue in the electronics and construction industries?

People are wounded by these thoughtless and archaic terms. Many are scarred for life by hearing these terms.

When does it stop?

Tough shit. The only rational response for the offended is to point and laugh, long and loud.

Retard rube is the only one offended and we point and laugh at your ignorant, racist ass all the time.

This is a joke right? 'Male' and 'Female' in relation to connectors seems both logical and relatable. It is non discriminatory. Will there ever be an LGBQTI connector? When there is, just shoot me. Political correctness is fucking us all up the ass.

But why are there only two genders? We need non-binary connectors.

For DIN connectors, the female fits inside the male.
