Instead she talked about “feeling sort of funny,” without being able to elaborate.

The material itself has much more available on biological aspects, plus cultural and historical ones. It could also discuss the same question from the view of the growth of the human body and the development, say, of cancer cells that break out of a conforming pattern and superimpose a ‘new’ one, their own, on the unit structure….
