Based on one of the statements in this article I am to understand with M/M & F/F Gender Changers and the Thunderbolt 2 to USB/Thunderbolt 3 Adapter I can reverse it and connect the TB2 end to Mac Mini and the TB3/USBC end to Devices and its expected to work????
Mac mini, macOS 10.15
Hello ssledge7,
This adapter is bidirectional, which means you can use it to connect Thunderbolt 3 devices to a Mac that has a Thunderbolt or Thunderbolt 2 port. In that case, the Mac must be using macOS Sierra or later, and the device using Thunderbolt 3 must provide its own power.
Please note.... "This adapter doesn't receive power over Thunderbolt, so you can't charge your Mac by connecting the adapter to an external Thunderbolt display or other device that delivers power over Thunderbolt."
