Pretty sure that's gotta be because we've both answered the calls once, and now that they know the number works, they don't leave you alone. I saw Kitboga talking about it on a "the official podcast" about it. They straight up will not leave that number alone.

It's hard to tell because I think that my phone screens them out. My phone is normally in the basement. If it rings, I get a note on my watch saying the number is calling. If I recognize the number, I call back on the computer. Otherwise it goes to voicemail. My mother gets about 45 calls a day. I can see it on her phone - they show up as missed calls as they never leave a message. I've been at her home for a while and I answered the calls and they were health insurance, utility switching, medicare-related, etc. There seems to be no way to get rid of these things.

396 is an example of why it should be required to include a "what problem are you trying to solve" section on these bills. I'd also be interested in what they mean by "biologically male and female", particularly for intersex people who aren't at either end of the sex binary and are, in fact, somewhere in the middle - and have no problem being in the middle (intersex is not the same thing as transgender).

I wish 264 didn't mix male and female and gender all at once, which are different. Sex: male/female/inter, Gender: Man/Woman/Non-Binary/xenogenders, etc. This is relatively new distinction in cultural discourse and won't get fixed in state law anytime soon, but focusing in on only male/female erases intersex folks (there are over 3 dozen types and collectively, we show up in about 1-2% of the population). I do like that 264 mentions requiring a court order to change the birth certificate more than once, to prevent flipflopping (figuring out some of this stuff can be personally confusing).
