Mice and scissors that can be used in both left and right hands are oppression by the woke communists!!!1! All part of the WEF plan (sponsored by Soros) to make everyone ambidextrous and to destroy our right-hand supremacy! Bill Gates put secret nanobots in the vaccines to make us more left-handed. Wake up, don’t believe what the fake news media tells you!
(/s, though I hope that was clear)
proof!
(i also am spreading misinformation for the sake of satire)
That line should be smudged by the left hand.
You’re a right handed fraud aren’t ya
Once upon a time I read a statistic that said left-handed people were more successful than righties so I taught myself to write and do all sorts of things left-handed. I’m still a fuckin loser but at least now I’m ambidextrous, so take whatever lesson you want from that
The struggle for left-handed people like me is that you always meet tools made for right-handed people. So you have to use the right hand more like right-handed the left. This makes left-handed people more ambidextrous. Scissors are always in my right hand. As a kid I tried to learn writing with both hands at the same time, worst idea ever but it works a little bit.
Btw. Mental arithmetic is the endboss for left-handed. So don’t say left-handed are more successful.
Okay, I suppose in the future I’ll do better to check my privilege. But what does mental arithmetic have to do with handedness?
Idk, but I am left handed and very bad at mental arithmetic, so based on that anecdotal evidence it checks out I think
I’m left-handed and really good at it
Well that comtradicts my worldview so I am going to block you I think
Did you visit a school in the eastside of the world?
Nope, western Europe.
Handedness has some “connections” to the use of the brain sides. One side is better for doing math and I suppose its not the one mostly used by left-handed people.
Laughs in ambidextrous.
What’s “handedness”? Some propaganda by people who are disabled on one side of their body?
took this opportunity to look up frequency of ambidexterity—it’s about 1% which means, depending on definitions, ambidextrous individuals are born at about the same rate as trans people and half as frequently as intersex people. and all of these incidence rates excede the rate of shiny pokemon in gen ii!
While I would like to think of myself as something rare and shiny, I’d like to admit that I don’t actually identify as “truly” ambidextrous.
It’s perhaps more accurately “mixed-handedness”, and while I have quite a few of the benefits of what an truly ambidextrous person would, I also have some negatives that a person with one clear dominant side wouldn’t. I think the benefits outweigh the negatives for me, but I don’t think everyone would necessarily agree. And ofc it depends on your degree of mixedness, basically.
It’s much more common, being reported in this study at a rate of 13.49% while left-handedness was 7.14%.
For instance I used to do frisbee golf (disc golf?) quite a lot more, and long throws obviously with my right, although I could do them a bit with my left. But then my left wrist (what I mostly write with) is stronger so when I put the disc, left was often more reliable. So then if it was between a put and a medium range throw, I’d have problems choosing which hand to throw with.
Then again writing on a blackboard, sorry, whiteboard is what they are nowadays, I start with my left but finish with my right.
And when I cook for instance, which hand holds the product and which cuts is mostly a matter of how I’m facing or what hand the knife happens to be closer to. I can also shoot from both sides, although my right-eye does seem more dominant.
Coincidentally my preferred gender is sort of slightly fluid as well and/or mixed but my presentation is 99% of the time mostly masculine. I don’t live in the most progressive society in terms of attitudes towards LGBTQ+ people.
so all of this begs the question: do we think there is a person out there who is genderqueer, ambidextrous, AND owns a shiny pokemon?
Does that mean they are trans, have a 50% chance to be intersex and are a shiny pokemon?
yes! truly beautiful how statistics work
My school unironically thought this. I was left handed as a kid, but I wasn’t allowed to write, draw, or really do anything with my left hand while at school, even during breaks. Nowadays as a result I can only do things with my right hand even though I still, every single time, naturally go for my left.
I constantly go to write or draw and go “why is this so hard?” only to realize I instinctively used my left hand instead of my right.I hope people don’t force you to do that now. I had a relative who used to get beaten by teachers in school for being left handed. She’s still a left hander though.
just like women
trans… inclusive radical misogyny?
women aren’t real and don’t exist, everyone is either cis male or transmasc
look if god wanted women to exist He would’ve given Jesus big ol’ titties
Jesus had no bio dad to give him a Y chromosome and was FTM
Women were made up by big pharma to sell more contraceptives
gender was made up by big toilet to sell more restrooms
I DIDN’T ASK TO BE BORN THIS WAY
just use your other hand??? how hard can it be 🥱
You’re right, i’m now left handed 💪
Wow can’t even talk about jerking a dude’s dad off in here. I thought this was 196 not 1984
???

Dear mod:
You know, it would be really helpful if you would actually write a reason for removal instead of just “chill” or anything else unhelpful. The second one actually helped me understand what I did wrong instead of making you look like a sensitive little baby.
And I didn’t copy/paste anything; I retyped it because dude asked what I said. So eat my dick, or be more helpful.
dude if you have so many problems with mods go find another fucking community instead of spamming my notifications with expletives and attacks. embarrassing.
I don’t, and that was the last one. If there were an easier way, I’d use it.
Go ahead and report that for me though if you don’t care. 'Preciate it.
you can find and DM community mods in the community sidebar. i’m blocking you now i hope you can have more basic internet etiquette for your next interaction.

I am left handed and enby.
Though the correlation intersection is between enby (or peripheral to gender norms) and ASD, which is a broad intersection. It also informs my penchant for over-explaining things.
I’m not mansplaining, it’s that the connectedness excites me like dinosaurs excite a toddler!
ETA Re: Anbidexterity, when I was in kindergarten I could, for a very short while, do letters with either hand and it was so cool. Then, in a playground accident, I broke my right forearm, so I learned to write while my right hand was in a cast. But yeah, I played piano (out of practice, now), and while I do mouse stuff with my left hand, I still joystick with my right hand due to early gaming on someone else’s computer.
That said, for fine work or throwing, I do that with my left hand.
PSS: That all said, computer input devices come in three flavors: Right handed, ambidextrous and rare, often not great left handed devices I don’t like. Usually I do ambidextrous options.
Same with bald people
and people with british accents
hi can you please censor that slur?
SMH all these lefttrenders
As a left handed person this checks out.
