 * Yes, I disagree. It was constructive and my admendment was correct. What's more, you agreed with it by writing "clearly" when I pointed out it's obvious they're non-identical twins. The reason why my amendment was constructive, and the reversion comes across as stubborn ownership of a page rather than collaboration, is that we often do not consider the roots of words. "Fraternal" is both superfluous but also has patriarchal roots in that its use for twins is not simply "non-identical" but rather "of being like brothers". We rarely see "sororal twins" being used, do we? Additionally, it is the second time Sara Waisglass has played a twin and in her Degrassi character, her and her twin brother are simply listed as "twins" on both the Degrassi: Next Gen and Degrassi: New Class pages. "Fraternal", for these characters, adds nothing and is outdated. If a qualifier is needed for their "twin" status, "non-identical" or "dizygotic" serves the same purpose and is not unnecessarily gendered. 194.223.17.240 (talk) 06:14, 20 January 2023 (UTC)
