hermaphroditic

Anderson Powerpole connectors[1][2] have hermaphroditic housings, hermaphroditic contacts, and they're both usually on flexible leads so there's not usually a good distinction between jack & plug!

Literally we have entire hermaphroditic species AND hermaphroditic individuals in non-hermaphroditic species.

And in hermaphroditic species, which anatomical and cellular structures correspond to the female and male halves of the reproductive system.

One of my favorite examples of odd connectors has to be the massively clunky hermaphroditic Token Ring connector from IBM.

The real man/woman of science is obviously the hermaphroditic god-head at the center of creation.

Atrazine is causing hermaphroditic frogs, chemically castrating them, and turning male frogs into behavioral females.

Nor does the existence of hermaphroditic species, in which each individual embodies both female and male reproductive systems, imply this either.

She does not yet know whether it is hermaphroditic or gonochoric, nor, if gonochoric, which individuals are female and which are male.

Using these two terms, we can talk about a diverse spectrum of reproductive strategies, including hermaphroditic and gonochoric.

All the major suppliers make hermaphroditic connectors, but like you I’ve only ever seen the powerpoles in person.

The whole point of female and male is to distinguish the two reproductive roles in sexually reproducing species, whether those are hermaphroditic or gonochoric.

There are a rare few animals that can sometimes self-reproduce, but it's not a common strategy in the animal kingdom, even among hermaphroditic animals.

I am proudly still immature enough to enjoy the the below anecdote, especially the apt species name: "Hermaphroditic marine flatworms (Pseudobiceros hancockanus) are known to duke it out to determine which one will provide the sperm and which one will receive it.

Hermaphroditic connectors are a thing, and it’s not what usb c is.
