When USB-C-compliant devices are connected, they have to negotiate which side is upstream and which is downstream. So yes, they’re hermaphroditic, just like snails.
In contrast, the non-compliant USB A-to-A cable that Ugreen uses with its own devices is closer to hyenas. If you know, you know… and don’t you wish you didn’t.
USB-C is kinda sorta hermaphroditic.

My mpcie to pcie x4 adaptor uses an A-to-A cable, also says on the board to not plug in USB devices. :D
that “kinda sorta” is doing a lot of work there.
