Conjoined twins

It is the 'othering' of people with disabilities I find uncomfortable. I have been quite open about it on various threads so it isn't a secret and I'm not being spiteful. I think sometimes people post without thinking through the implications of what they are saying.

We have no idea how the sisters deal with any of their issues other than what we have been told. The leap towards what happens when they have sex (which they may not have anyway, we honestly don't know) quite crude

I'd rather not engage in a negative exchange.I'm just being honest about how I feel

From what little I have read about it, they seem to have worked through the issues well. Along with their mother[cant remember reading about dad].

this is really worth a watch..

these are happy girls.

I know this is a little bit off topic (still on topic of conjoined twins) but does anyone remember the name of the conjoined twins born in Australia years ago who were craniopagus? They were joined at the head in an unusual way like back to back and upside down. I can't remember their names and when I did several google searches it only came up with Alyssa and Bethany Nolan, who aren't the ones I'm thinking of. But the Nolan twins were born in the same hospital (in Brisbane I think) and amazingly also craniopagus conjoined twins. The ones I'm thinking of were born before the Nolan twins, maybe a year or so before them. They were successfully separated but I remember reading that one died about 2 years later. I think the twins I'm thinking of were born maybe in the early 2000s or even late 90s.

A thread from 9 months ago.

Hmmmmm…… I don’t see her about anymore 😜😂

Urmstongran, are you unsettled about conjoined twins because you are concerned about whether the twins are one self or two selves ?

I know it's an old thread revived. However the question about selves is still important, especially today when Xians are celebrating universal love.

But why on earth is anyone on here unsettled by it? It’s not our life. These two ladies have been joined since they were born they know no other way of life so to them this is their normal. They have worked out how to do many things over the years …go to the toilet together , have a bath, wash their hair, even get dressed what if one wants a blue dress and one a red one ? Look at menstruation problems they ve had to deal with. Medical problems and procedures Everything is done differently to how we can imagine but they’ve sorted it, they are 34 years old so have had plenty of time to work it all out

Why do we have to imagine what’s happening in their bed it’s nothing to do with us ( do we need to imagine what’s going on in the sex life of other people) they’re happy why would you feel unsettled about somebody elses happiness , it’s just not our business to imagine the ins and outs They have obviously worked out how to do so many things since birth and this is just another

Be truthful you’re all ‘unsettled’ because it involves SEX 🤣

I think you’re right, the SEX part is a bit unsettling, but I find their whole lives quite unsettling. More because I simply cannot imagine living that way. Bathing, toileting, dressing - all seem difficult.

I’m happy for them if they are all happy.
