Today, I was mistaken for my twin brother twice. This probably wouldn't be so bad if I wasn't a girl. FML

Same thing different taste
Today, despite having long hair and wearing makeup and a dress, I was still mistaken for a man several times. I'm a girl and I was born a girl. FML
Bad hair day
Today, I mistook a little girl for a boy. Unfortunately, I only realised my mistake until after I'd cut her hair. FML
Today, on more than one occasion, I was mistaken for my boyfriend's mother, by his own family. FML
Today, I was mistaken for a prostitute. Twice. While in my work uniform. FML
Today, I found out that even though my sister and I are identical twins, I'm known as "The ugly one". FML
Time is on my side
Today, I, a person who will be 21 in a few months, was mistaken for my mom's older brother. My mom is in her fifties. Apparently this is becoming increasingly common, because the world sucks. I didn't realize it was affecting me this badly. FML
Not anyone's favorite
Today, everyone at school told me to wish my brother a happy birthday. We're twins. FML
Today, there's a new freshman at my school that looks exactly like me. Whenever we see her, my friends shout "Twinzies!" I don't have anything against her, but I'm bummed because I'm a male senior. FML
Today, I learned that being a twin really isn't that cool. After laughing at my twin brother for getting a speeding ticket he turns to me and says "It's not mine." Confused, I look at the ticket and see my name. He used my license. FML
Today, my identical twin sister's boyfriend walked over to me, and whispered in my ear, "I know what you look like naked." FML

Time for a new look?

*looks at the word "twin"* That might have something to do with it.
rich443 22
if they different sexs they are not identical twins and probably look nothing alike
Welshite 39
If she keeps getting mistaken for her brother, I would have to say that they do.
rich443 22
maybe a family resemblance but not because they are twins she's the wrong type of twin for that to be true
naznafeathers 22
It's possible they have similar facial features and skin color/ hair color, and if they wear similar clothing, it can be difficult to tell even fraternal twins apart.
Welshite 39
Good point; I stand corrected on the twin thing, but you said they don't look anything alike. I think we're talking about two different things here.

its possible for identical twins to be different genders, one will normally just look slightly more feminine in body structure.
rich443 22
your right I'm a little wrong too but I get your point
monnanon 13
identical twins cannot be different genders. they are split from the same egg meaning their DNA is identical at the point of conception including their chromesones. fratenal twins are basically two babies that share the womb. two seperate eggs and sperm.
Schizomaniac 24
Chromesones.

20 is right identical twins have to be the same gender so there DNA is the same: males have X and Y chromosomes and females only have Y. So in order for twins to be identical they need to be the same sex. :)
NeatNit 32
20 are you sure it's different eggs as well? I thought it was just different sperm same egg, then again I never looked into it. If what I said is true, then they share all of their mother's genes, which means more similarities than normal siblings.
monnanon 13
fraternal are two eggs and sperm identical can be one of each and a split or two sperm. fraternal twins do usually look more alike than normal siblings
monnanon 13
having researched a wee bit yoy can have very rare cases of identical twins where one is male and one is female. it is caused by a mutation in one male twin. identical refers to the zygote meaning they have ti be from the same zygote.

27- women only have X chromosomes since XX is a female and XY is a male. (sorry that was bothering me. feel free to down vote me.)

Who cares. You guys made a bid deal out of nothing.

Actually identical twins are always the same gender. Contrary to common misconception, boy girl twins can not be identical. Also, fraternal twins are two different eggs and sperm. However, it is possible for fraternal twins to look similar and for identical twins to look slightly different.

#22 - it's chromosomes

I think the matching outfits and super fine mullets have to go, OP....

My parents call me by my brothers' names all the time, don't feel that bad. I have even accidentally called my dog by one of my brother's names, and they look nothing alike.
strike2867 13
There's something floating in your gene pool.
meiam 7
I was just trying to say that sometimes the wrong name comes out, but it's not because you look like the person....
crazytwinsmom 25
I occasionally intermix my son and dog names. That's the problem when you name a dog a normal human name.
NeatNit 32
My poor grandma always mixes up all of her grandchildren's names... it usually takes here between two to five attempts to get it right :P
football98_fml 20
its probably because your brother looks like a girl, not because you look like a boy
OneGirlTwoCups 13
So, he's Hideyoshi from Baka and Test basically?.
JasonUMN 15
I don't know which one applies here... Dude looks like a lady, or she's the man.
adam3650 12
Dude looks like she's the man??

I've always wanted an identical twin. That way one of us could commit a crime and get away with it.
mim777 4
that actually happened. and its not funny. and being a twin isnt as good as it sounds - im a twin and i can tell you that it can be quite stressful sometimes imagine being with the same person 24/7 . . . not fun
Sinistra_Blue 12
I'm sorry my comment was taken so seriously? I have three older brothers. The last thing I'd want is an identical twin.
RonnieG 10
what's the big deal? you're twins. twins look alike.
Elyse Mulraney 8
not always. I'm a twin(f) my twin is a male, obviously fraternal and hes like 8 inches taller, 100lbs heavier, and looks like our dad, I look like our mom

It's okay, Lillian. I always thought Phillip looked rather feminine.
