I love how they described the gut feeling as their intuition for being sisters people don't usually understand when I would tell them I could feel my sister was in trouble we were not twins but I could always feel her even when her body and mind were failing her and she was slipping away I could feel she was going and people never understood but to use the word gut instinct I think helps people get it better.

Agreed. No matter what, they are stuck together forever. They both have to work the same job, the same tasks, and the same outcomes together, so they should be treated as a team entity. Of course in the real world, the other twin would still need to have a certain level of competency, but they would clearly combine their me tal faculties when problem solviing at their job.

The way that you are framing it would more be classified as an impairment. Disability, especially in the social model of disability, is framed more as societal attitudes and environments that disable someone/people, as opposed to their different physical abilities. Hope that makes sense :)

As it is people who have no idea what it's like to be disabled, that think it's such a bad thing, that it needs to be "prevented" or "cured", when it might not be that bad as what ableds make it out to be...

Apart from the psychological side, the only biological explanation I have is that their receptor regulation is differently. We're talking epigenetics and different absorption & metabolics.

I'm not either of them or a conjoined twin so i can't answer evrrything for sure but they answered some of those questions in the video do they both feel when they have to go to the bathroom at the same time?... which one has to "go"? probably, they said they share a pelvis and reproductive system and probably a urinary system too so they wouldn't have 2 bladders to fill so i presume the signal sent to their brains would happen near enough at the same time and i presume, means neither have primary control over it but i can't say for sure do they both interpret pain in the same way? they said they only feel their side of their body so if carmen stubbed her toes lupita wouldn't feel it do they have feeling in both legs? no, seperate sides so each control and have feeling in their respective leg do they both get a stomach ache at the same time? no, they have seperate stomachs which leads into shared intestines i can't answer things like who wipes, arguements, schedule conflicts though.. but they've spent 21 years together and will have had arguements and time to find ways to compromise with each other
