A pointless but interesting realization I had

It struck me a while ago that twincest, from a reproductive standpoint, is actually no worse than nontwin sibling incest. If one twin has eggs and the other has sperm, they're fraternal twins, which are no more genetically alike than full siblings born years apart. If they're identical twins, they're the same sex, and will never be able to reproduce with one another. Even if one of them fully transitions to the opposite sex, that (with current medical knowledge) won't give them the ability to sire/bear children. Things like complete androgen insensitivity syndrome might be able to make "half-identical twins", but that twin still wouldn't have a uterus (and I'm not even sure if it's one of those things where if one identical twin has it, the other will too).

It's a pointless thought, and when thinking about the emotional instead of the reproductive element, twincest may often be "worse", but. Well. Fandom makes me think about weird things sometimes.

Very true!

But most twincest in fanfic is M/M mpreg, and most M/M twins that get shipped are identical.

Do people really try to rank sibling incest by what is "worse?"

Yes. Yes they do.

For what it's worth, if two siblings have sex and have a baby, that baby has less of a chance of having any kind of deformity than a woman who has a baby at 45. Also apparently parent-child incest has a higher chance of such than a sibling-incest baby.

The more you know, I guess. I rather think that's not the point anyway. Incest is dangerous for reasons that aren't potential babies, I don't think babies should be brought into the discussion at all. It kind of suggests that same-sex incest relationships or relationships using a condom are somehow less problematic just because there's no potential pregnancy.
