non-identical conjoined twins can happen, but it's much harder as it means joining the foetus bubbles first. Identical twins have a shared bubble to begin with, so the probability of ending up joined is higher with them than with non-identical ones.

In any case, the general consensus on medical websites is that only identical (monozygotic) twins (and by implication, also same-sex twins) can be conjoined, while non-identical (dizygotic) twins cannot be conjoined, and opposite-sex twins are always dizygotic.
Also, twins conjoined at the hip normally have 4 legs, instead of 2 and that weird third leg in the middle.
Although impossible, this is most likely just a fetish of the artist's, and I understand, because this is hot as fuck.

It's technically possible for identical twins to have different biological sexes; for example, if a male zygote with an extra X chromosome splits the right way, the Y chromosome can be lost in one of the twins, resulting in that one becoming a female. This is extremely rare, although it has been documented AFAIK.
The bigger problem here is that if you have a female and male body joined together, their bodies will produce both estrogen and testosterone, resulting in both of them having both male and female features (e.g. hairy, muscular, wide shoulders, narrow hips, and a deep gravelly voice, combined with breasts, soft skin, etc.)
