Nothing is wrong with her thumbs,but everything is wrong with how society judges one on little flaws.What she has is called clubbed thumbs.
Definition:A clubbed thumb is a term used to describe the genetic clubbing of one or both thumbs. It is characterized by a particularly short thumb that is round in section and bulbous at the end.[1] The thumb nail is very wide and short. The scientific term for clubbed thumb is Brachydactyly type D or "BDD".[2]
Clubbed thumbs are historically thought of as a sign of royalty.[citation needed] This rare condition was much more common in royal European blood-lines than in the general population and was used as a factor in determining the pureness of the blood.[citation needed] Other commonly used terms are toe thumb and European thumb.
