What are mirror image identical twins?

I don’t know this for certain, but I would say identical twins that are mirror images of each other. When you really take a close look a some one, you will find that we are not perfectly symmetrical. One side of your face is not the exactly the same as the other side of your face. Your arms are not exactly the same length and so on. So, with normal identical twins, these variations would be on the same sides. (Their right arms would be the same length and their left arms would be the same length.) However, with mirror image identical twins, these differences would be on opposite sides. (One’s right arm would match the other’s left arm and vice versa.) So, the one would be the mirror image of the other.

Well, I went to school with twin sisters who were “mirror image.” They were identical, but “opposite.” One was left-handed, one was right-handed. One wore glasses, the other didn’t. They looked identical in every way.
