    …is it bad that as a trans man who knows nothing about electrical connectors, I still find this rant relatable? You’d think there would be some kind of terminology for getting your equipment to play with your other equipment, but no, and don’t even get me started on what happens when it has to interface with organic systems…

      In the connector world, we call it mating. In my previous comment, I should have said “mates with” instead of “plugs into”, but wanted to make it simple and abundantly clear.

      “Interface with organic systems” I actively laughed at this. I find your phrasing way funnier than it should be. Thanks for the chuckle.

      But yeah, every word is a made up word, so make one up?
