Male to male XLR question

I am shocked, shocked, at the patriarchal oppression of these poor defenseless cables being forced into heteronormative binary categories of male and female gender without even once considering the cables own gender preference. Someone call the PC police at once. I would do it myself but am so traumatized I need to decompress in a safe space for at least a week.

If they assemble the cables+connectors with the directionality of the cable wrong, you'd screwed--no reversing.
