Carmen Andrade Pushes Back on Intrusive Questions
Carmen Andrade together with her husband, Daniel McCormack, are not willing to convert their relationship into a show.
One of the twins joined at the hip, who is sharing a body with her sister, Lupita Andrade, and McCormack became husband and wife last October. After that, she mentions that there only one topic which has been going on forever – questions about her sex life.
“I don’t understand why people need to know about my private parts,” Carmen told PEOPLE in an interview published Sept. 18.
Daniel and Lupita Speak Out
Daniel who on Hinge met Carmen for the first time in 2020, also shared his wife’s disgust at the intrusive questions.
She went on to say, “People are not able to take their minds off sex all the time and, you know, just like that, really, it is absolutely none of your f—king business.” Carmen’s sister, Lupita, confessed that she often participates in the talk, which is really boring, and she is usually asked strange questions such as whether she has a romantic relationship with her sister’s husband. “I do love him as a brother,” she explained. “That’s all.”
Setting Boundaries With Honesty
Both Carmen and Lupita, who are 25, have been quite frustrated with the same invasive questions but, at times, they have confronted the public’s curiosity face to face.
“Lupita and I won’t be able to have children,” Carmen told Today in April 2023. “We both have endometriosis and we are on a hormone blocker that stops us from having periods.”
On her part, Lupita has constantly been unambiguous about her standpoint regarding relationships. When asked, she just stated during the same interview that she was asexual and that “I want no one.”
Finding Love and Using Their Voice
First things first, Carmen said that what really pulled her to Daniel was his manner. “It was the very first moment that I knew Daniel was not like the others because he didn’t start with a question about my condition,” she remembered.
They have also established together a social media influence that comprises more than 200,000 followers. Using this platform, they challenge the preconceptions and change the stigmatization that merges the condition of conjoined twins. Nevertheless, they confess that the continual watching can sometimes be an ‘overload’ of their feeling.
More Than Just Labels
Carmen admitted that a lot of trouble might come from being very open on the internet. “We do receive some nasty comments,” she stated. “Most people are not accustomed to the idea of disabled people having their own personal space or creating it regarding their disability. We get a lot of questions about sex and how we go to the bathroom and things like that. But the main thing to keep in mind is that we are not only conjoined twins but also human beings.”
