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.

Now that I think about it, how do they split income for taxes? Would they go 50/50 assuming they have their own SSN? Plus they both can file married while benefiting from needing only one income for the two of them.

While it sucks that they only get one salary the tax implications vs cost of living is very good when it works out.
