[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I can't help but be squeed out by this set of twins. I would never say this in real life, but I can't see anything but a two-headed person when I see them, and it just weirds me out. Yes, I know. I'm terrible. I get that.

That being said, they aren't here for my comfort and I'm genuinely happy for them that they have a nice life and one or both has found love. [/quote]

They are human beings like you are a human being. They didn’t choose to be co-joined twins. Why are you squeed out by people who didn’t choose their circumstances but graduated from college and teach 5th grades?

Stop pretending that they look normal. They don’t. Of course they didn’t choose their circumstances. Neither did the elephant man. But they still look odd. [/quote]

Nobody is pretending they look normal. Lots of people don’t look “normal.” What is “normal,” btw? Civilized people don’t base their opinions of people on their looks.

I bet someone, somewhere, thinks you look odd.

DP- come on now you can’t be serious. There’s literally only one other set of conjoined twins with their same condition- connected in the same way- alive in the world right now. You mean to say that if they were walking down the street you wouldn’t look twice? Of course they look odd. It’s an odd situation. [/quote]

That PP likes to think they’re so above it all, but when you really get down to it there’s no way in helł there’s not even a fleeting thought of “omg what on earth is happening there…” when they see a medical oddity. Its a normal human reaction. [/quote]

Human beings are not “medical oddities.” These women deserve to be treated with respect and dignity.

Some of you are not very nice.[/quote]

Being curious about this VERY unique medical situation is in no way disrespecting these women. Humans are meant to be curious creatures, that's how we make progress in science, the world, etc.

The only odd thing is people pretending they don't have any questions.[/quote]

Would you be ok with strangers talking about your body on an online forum? And in a way that indicated they find you repulsive? Be honest now.  [/quote]
