"what is my gender," you ask? well, that's not a very well defined question. it presumes some concept of gender as a fixed, unchanging thing, which,

idea: "a phone number's worth" as a quantity of digits

I saw a number on a box that had a phone number's worth of zeroes in it and that made me think of that
