Another off-the-wall explanation: Piro is a transsexual – a female switching to male. Dr. Heald is some doctor helping him/her to adjust. Bernice just didn’t feel normal male chemistry because it was not there. … All that’s very unlikely, but as good an alternative explanation for the mystery as any.
