    This makes me sad. I’ve seen a few documentaries focused on their extraordinary lives together. I cannot in this or any universe understand the struggles they went through. Having one person in a conjoined twin situation be trans, and everything that comes with that is mind blowing. The fact that they didn’t go absolutely insane being stuck like that for their entire lives is amazing. I salute you, Lori and George.

    “Why fix what is not broken??” George added when asked if they wished they had been separated.

    It’s so normal for us to assume that the best course of action would have been to separate them if possible and here is the person affected by it saying otherwise.
