Clones and other human creatures not of women borne<ref name="1.7">“Not knowing what you are, I’m not sure I’m willing to risk it.  For all I know, you’re a human they grew in a jar.”<br><br>“I’m real.  Woman-born,” I said.  “An adjustment made after the fact, so my head works in a slightly different way.
