Not sure if this is true, but I support it.

Anyone know where one might find a compact microsd card to female usb c adapter?
I want to make a local storage attachment for watch, but can only find male usb c or female usb a

If you want, I could help you try again?
Provided, itās not as easy without having the device on my bench. But still, Iām always willing to help with such things.

Tell me how Iām stupid here.
Could I take these 2 and solder them together to get a functional usbc female to micro sd adapter?
Use case, design and print a small housing for such that lives on my watch band, when needed, grabs nearby phone cord, plug into adapter and computer and do data?
The Ti chip on the microsd breakout is a level shifter. Itās there to make the microsd socket safe to use with 5v microcontrollers by shifting the inputs (CS, CLK, DI, maybe CD) down to 3.3v but itās not a USB interface. You will need a controller, likely mass storage controller, that āspeaksā USB.

What about hypothetically taking an existing micro sd to male usbc, tearing it open, and swapping the usb port
(thereās so much easy material there for a supportive trans joke in there somewhere, but Iād botch it haha)
honestly though.. just get these;
Glue the F2F USB-C adapter on if you need to. Youāll still be smaller than those two adafruit boards combined. The reader is even compatible with āLixusā ! 
I think youād have to physically cross all the pins, so like leftmost pin on the socket to the rightmost pin on the PCB etc. Itās not a straight swap-out.

Itās pretty suprising I canāt find a single one with a female portā¦ Iād figured SOMEONE would make one
Ironically, nearly all the m.2 micro enclosures are the exact opposite

Iāve seen a lot of strange cable configurations but I think the issue is the microsd part of this equation.. that makes this a pretty niche requirement. Speaking of.. why do you need a female end on it? You want to put a standard male / male cable between reader and host device?

Pretty much
That means carrying around a cable
Iām expecting either usb c to c or usb c to a to be scroungable wherever I go

I still vote for the F2F adapter glued on the end. Done and done.

I like your idea, but as it appears that NOBODY makes one, you could make your own which would be cool, OR you could pivot, and get something that does exist and is easily accessible and make a holder for it on your watch band
Almost achieves the same thing, but rather than plugging into your āwatchā, you plug your āwatchā in

I think I can pivot in a better direction
instead of micro sd to female usbc
There are plenty of tiny micro sd to usb A, and then a small usb a to usb c female female

Get out of my head, thatās exactly what I was going to sayā¦
This one technically qualifies but itās rather big: CARD | KC7
There are chinese clones but the ones Iāve seen have Qi charging and this makes the electronics a bit large.
USB C is mostly symmetrical so that itās reversible, and if the reader is USB 2 youād only have to worry about the D+ and D- pins. For USB 3, things get a bit more complicatedā¦
Another option would be to design a reader from scratch, as long as youāre comfortable with soldering tiny pinsā¦ But then again, swapping out a USB C connector will also require messing with tiny pinsā¦

Iām tired of phones.
After the death of a samsung phone (water got into the power button, refused to boot), I got my pixel4a and made the jump to grapheneOS. I loved it.
When security updates stopped coming, I grabbed myself a nice pixel8. A few months ago, my screen started flickering green, so I replaced the display with the help of iFixit.
Today, my power button stopped working once more. This is not easily repairable like the display, and my pixel8 has some bonus problems; battery life is declining enough where it has to be trickle charged in the evenings on a qi charger, and the USB port is coming loose enough where I canāt charge the phone while using it for watching a video or whatever without the cable coming out.
Sighā¦ So I just ordered a pixel9a they are $400 right now, and they come with a fat battery and an ip68 rating, while keeping all other specs more or less the same. It also has a good few years of support.
Side note:
Thanks hammy for the extra stickers, I get to use another one on my new phone
