    Not disagreeing but I don’t think it’s appropriate to refer to one twin as a “half”

      Afaik it’s pretty common to call twinks “halfs”, conjoined or not. I’m a twin, and I’ve been asked about “my other half” my whole life. Same thing with couples, or any two people who are perceived as belonging together for some reason.

      It’s half a set of twins. It’s okay.

      I don’t speak for my clone, let alone all twins. But I don’t care. I rode a bike down the side of a highway with no helmet as the logging trucks passed us by: this label will not hurt me.
