The way these are called male and female has always been so wild

It‘s a pretty good metaphor I‘d say and less bland than calling them plug and socket.

Such A-to-A adaptors and cables always have been prohibited by the USB spec, but people built them anyway. A common usecase for “illegal” A-A cables i remember was connecting PCIe cards (especially GPUs and mining cards) externally to riser sockets.

In 2001 the directionality became kind of moot. Especially if you want to do attach something with an on-the-go host

An OTG setup needs all 5 pins of the micro-B connector. USB A cannot be used for OTG. If a USB-A port can act as a client, that’s not OTG, it’s a botched implementation.

It’s an Usb-A gender changer. It’s not that useful but you could use it to turn an otg adapter (female usb-a to male usb-c) into a regular usb-c cable. I’d rather buy a usb-c cable though.
