I’m a true anomaly and proud of it.

I can write legibly with either hand (including upside down and backwards in print or script).

I throw and catch with my right hand, but hold my fork and style my hair with my left. In gymnastics, I favored my left side; in dance, my right.

Bowed my violin with my right but strummed guitar with the left.

I ranked in the 98% for engineering but went into teaching, then engineering, then property/risk management.

Born a woman, every test I’ve taken indicates an 80% or higher male dominated brain/thought patterns.

My father and two of my children are left handed.

I realized that different sides of my brain were being activated for different skills and just went with what felt natural.

I had a jury to my right hand as a child and started to use my left hand. All through school I was left handed. I went to Catholic school and the nuns never discouraged it.
The older I got the more I started to use my right hand again. I can write legibly with both hands and use my right hand for some things and the left for others.
My son is the same. He had an eye injury as a toddler and wore a patch for quite awhile. I think that had something to do with him being ambidextrous.

One of my kids is naturally ambidextrous, and he seems to think differently from everyone else (in a good way). I don't know why I never made the connection until this thread.

I'm righthanded. I can barely use my left hand.

About 20 years ago, I took two tests that were supposed to determine a person's sex based on a series of questions. Both results determined that I was 100% male. LOL.

Note: I'm a woman. I wear my hair long. I've given birth and nursed all my babies. I loved being a mommy. Engineering has never interested me, and neither do sports.

The first test was only a fun online test, but the other women scored as female. The second test was part of a science exhibit, and it was based on thought patterns.

The most amusing part, though, was that two men (one an engineering major) with me at the science exhibit teased me about my results. Then, they took the test, and it determined their brains were mostly female. LOL.

So, I don't know... but that second test might've been created with an agenda.

You are fortunate that you achieved adulthood before the trans-cult became so popular.
