Abby and Brittany Hensel

Hi everyone,

Here is the link to the video I mentioned in class on the Hensel twins:

As you will see, the comments on the video are extremely offensive. The comments seem to highlight why it is the twins are reluctant to be in the public eye, as well as the fact that conjoined twins are still viewed as non-normative in our society as they defy our understanding of the "normal" body and cause discomfort for those of us who are singular (not conjoined).
