Terms, Concepts

USB-C is female. The USB-C port on a Google Pixel phone is female. Specifically, it's a female USB Type-C connector, which is the receptacle that accepts a male USB-C plug from a cable or adapter.
HDMI socket on a monitor is female.
A Pixel 7 running GrapheneOS will not allow you to directly screencast to a monitor using a USB-C to HDMI cable without any software or additional hardware. Pixel 7, and even the Pixel 7 Pro, lack the hardware and software support for video output via USB-C to HDMI. Pixel 8 and later models do have this capability, but not the Pixel 7.
DisplayLink or Chromecast is required on pixel 7 to screencast. [1]
DisplayLink adapters use software to produce video signal, as Pixel 7 doesn't have hardware to produce video signal out of USB c
Chromecast plugs into the HDMI port on monitor. It requires a network to work, and that network probably cannot be a hotspot from the device you are using to screencast [2].
For apple, this works - [3]
