gender mender
(foldoc) | gender mender
sex changer
(Or "gender bender", "gender blender", "sex
changer", and even "homosexual adapter") A cable connector
shell with either two male or two female connectors on it,
used to correct the mismatches that result when some loser
didn't understand the EIA-232C specification and the
distinction between DTE and DCE. Used especially for
EIA-232C parts in either the original D-25 or the IBM PC's
D-9 connector.
There appears to be some confusion as to whether a "male
homosexual adapter" has pins on both sides (is doubly male) or
sockets on both sides (connects two males).

n.
[common] A cable connector shell with either two male or two female
connectors on it, used to correct the mismatches that result when some {
loser} didn't understand the RS232C specification and the distinction
between DTE and DCE. Used esp. for RS-232C parts in either the original
D-25 or the IBM PC's bogus D-9 format. Also called gender bender, gender
blender, sex changer, and even homosexual adapter; however, there appears
to be some confusion as to whether a male homosexual adapter has pins on
both sides (is doubly male) or sockets on both sides (connects two males).
