You will need to do a fair amount of pin swapping to fit the opposite gender connector, so that the pinout is correct for signal direction.
Also which connector do you call a male connector? The correct designation is that the connector with male pins is a female connector because the body of the mating connector goes inside the body of this connector. People often call the connector with male pins a male connector, but then get confused when pointed to manufacturers literature that shows that as a female connector, so I have got into the habit of referring to male and female pins when talking about these connectors.
