Maybe the reasoning was this...?

They have two brains so they're two students learning.

They have one body so it's just one working

That’s pretty much it. They’re legally two people and can get certified for things independently. They both have a driver’s license for example. However, as teachers they can only teach one class at a time. It’s all just the nature of their problem. Though I will say it seems like the college probably could have worked with them a little bit given their unique situation.

To be fair, they only have one body to feed and one house to rent.

They also have the benefit of having two husbands living with them, sleeping either side of them iirc.

So it's like four people to one house. Three salaries. If anything it's a benefit.

It's also one airline seat I'd imagine?

Actually I don't know, maybe two. But they take up one seat. If they make obese people pay for two seats, surely these should pay for one? But I don't know, they're two people. Hmm. Maybe just cover the second head with a hood or bag and fly as one.

  1. I believe the expression is "mouths to feed" not bodies.
  2. How do they decide which is the "second head"?

But yeah, it's interesting to consider all the ways the assumption that one body = one person is built in to our society. Probably less interesting for them.

The droopy one, naturally.

I'm kidding. Sort of.
