Love is a bit of an overstatement, but I got a cheap Walmart brand USB hub for my laptop since it only has a single USB male (female?) port and I needed more for my mouse and thumb drives. Definitely worth it to ensure I could save work to my thumb drive at college.
Not exactly the same, but I find “plug” and “socket” or “jack” to be generally more useful terms since the definitions are based on function rather than similarity to genitalia. Plugs are usually male, but always. For example, computer power supplies typically have a male jack and a female plug. In those situations, I find it more meaningful to describe the part by whether it is fixed or moves rather than which way the prongs go.
It’s ONN, but I’ve been told that it’s a Walmart brand, so I don’t question it because it’s cheap. That, and I haven’t seen that brand in any other stores.

Male: with connector outside (like penis)
Female: with connector inside (like vagina)
Terms arose before trans people got so visible, so there’s that.

I agree!
Do not advocate for anything, just adding a bit of clarification :)
you sent it twice, also guess if this is male or female:
EDIT: dang ok you guys are nerdier than I thought lol, good job! I had so much trouble finding if it was male or female when buying a replacement haha
It’s the individual pins and their holes that matter for DIN and similar connectors. Female.
Female xlr end
The connection part is where the 3 slots are, (metal touching metal), the outer part/shell is moreso a way to hold it in place
Its a lot easier to tell when its on an audio interface or whatever audio device
Fixed!
I’ve never seen Great Value electronics. Guess they’re branching out.
