Today, I was on a date with a very intelligent and handsome guy. I was so nervous that when he was telling me about his twin sister, I asked him if they were identical twins. FML

Awkward.. but if the 'intelligent and handome' guy doesn't have a good enough sense of humour to not hold it against you, then you're probably better off without him :-)

I would probably do that too, honestly. He probably thought it was cute! If not...AVADA KEDAVRA!

I actually remember learning about an extremely rare situation in which boy/girl twins can be identical in Bio...it's not impossible!

Well, everyone says something stupid sometimes. He will get over it.

Identical (monozygotic) twins are always same gender because they form from a single zygote that contains either male (XY) or female (XX) sex chromosomes. However, there have been a few reported cases of a genetic mutation in male twins where one twin loses an Y chromosome and develops as a female. The female twin would be afflicted with Turner Syndrome, characterized by short stature and lack of ovarian development. This situation is extremely rare.

Actually, fraternal and identical are technical terms (it has to do with the separation of the eggs)

There are identical and fraternal twins out there

I don't understand what's wrong with that

Well then you're not that bright. Male/female twins can't be identical. Duh.

Oh dear, I'm so embarrassed for you.

Considering that there are fraternal twins in the world, that's not a stupid question.

I don't get this. They could be feternal twins. How was that stupid.

He's a boy and his twin is a girl so they are ferternal. Nerves get to the better of us sometimes.
