The docking adapters look pretty much the same (interlocking petals, not male/female) and can be active, passive, or both, but Dragon’s is only active. Active has to dock to passive, so two Dragons couldn’t dock.
SpaceX developed a new one that can be active or passive for Starship, which will have to dock with Orion and the Lunar Gateway.
