Why We Need To Stop Treating Non-Identical Twins Like Twins
Not all twins are close.
“Twins, Marian, Gordon, dinner’s ready.”
No matter how many times we object to people calling us “twins” we are fighting a losing battle. We even try to prove our point by calling our other siblings “single”. It doesn’t work.
This is a repeat assault on my sense of identity and that of my twin sister. Whilst we may well be twins, we are very different, even from a young age. More to the point, we are individual people. People seem to clump twins into one persona.
