I just looked, but could only find USB-C to male lightning ports. I don’t think I’ve ever seen an adapter or cable with a female lightning port on the end.
Yes, some accessories have a hard-wired lightning male end (and therefore need a female adapter). The Apple pencil, those alarm clock speaker docks, some flash drives, etc.
None of those devices I listed have a cable attached to it, just a male lightning end as part of the device itself.
The Apple pencil, that came out 8 years ago, charges with a male lightning port at the end (where an eraser might go on a normal pencil). There’s no cable, you’d just insert that end to a lightning supported iPad or iPhone to recharge.
The magnetic charger enabled second generation came out in 2018, but Apple still fully supports the first generation model.
Ah gotcha. Thanks for clarifying because I was imagining a goofy cable hanging off the end of the thing, flying all over the place while you’re writing.

Why would you need a female? Does Apple have devices with cables hardwired to them? Usually they just have ports and the cables are interchangeable.
There’s probably some expensive equipment that did it, but I haven’t seen any consumer grade stuff. Most things are wireless.

The Apple Pencil has a cable attached to it? Why? The Microsoft Surface Pen just charges by being attached magnetically to the side of the Surface.
