1 definition found From The Jargon File (version 4.4.7, 29 Dec 2003) [jargon]: gender mender n. [common] A cable connector shell with either two male or two female connectors on it, used to correct the mismatches that result when some { loser} didn't understand the RS232C specification and the distinction between DTE and DCE. Used esp. for RS-232C parts in either the original D-25 or the IBM PC's bogus D-9 format. Also called gender bender, gender blender, sex changer, and even homosexual adapter; however, there appears to be some confusion as to whether a male homosexual adapter has pins on both sides (is doubly male) or sockets on both sides (connects two males).
