There are no known cases of opposite sex Conjoined twins but that does not mean it can not happen. it is generally believed that identical twins means actually identical but the correct term now is actually monzygotic twins meaning one sack the reason they use this term is because to simply put it identical twins is actually rare when twins are born of the same sack Mono they are rarely actually identical and as such it is possible for a monozygotic twins to not completely sperate but in rare cases actual identical twins can in fact be of seperate sexual phenotype's they usually have some other defect

How do conjoined twins of different genders go to the toilet?
Like the Chess rule: Queen takes her color, Siamese twins are always Identical twins- and these always take the same gender. One could not have a Boy and Girl Siamese twins. some for many years were either Brothers (Chang and Eng) or Sisters such as the Hilton sisters, the Gibb ( or Gibbs) sisters, etc. for obvious show-business reasons the distaff twins are preferable to the carnivals, etc. the Hilton Sisters were a stellar example. So the problem of toilet use does not occur- they are two girls, or two boys so go to either the Men's or women's rooms as the gender requires.
