How about "dizygotic"? Nice and gender neutral, plus it's the accepted technical term. If technical terms scare you, you can always say "non-identical".

I have "fraternal" twin girls I use dizygotic occasionally, but no one knows what that means so I just say it was a two for one deal, but no they are not identical.

Doesn't this thread violate the rules somewhere? I simply cannot believe that Audra allows a thread announcing new arrivals without photo documentation of the cute little younguns.

I always thought the term was "sibling twins." Or did I dream up that up myself?
