As a left-handed FReeper the voices in my head told me I should post this article here.

[Telepathic Intruder]

I would have thought schizophrenia is more common in ambidextrous people.

[READINABLUESTATE]

Lefties are weird.
I think they are actually space aliens in disguise.

[Buckeye Battle Cry]

Well then...I’m f*****!

[bert]

To her 84 year dying day, my mother apologized to people because I am left handed.

For a Leftie, the handicap of living in a right-handed world induces growth that yields superiority

[silent majority rising]

I am left handed too....and so am I..

[circlecity]

This is pure prejudice. A left handed man can’t get no justice in this world. Down with righty, down with righty.

[silent majority rising]

I was glad, though, that in my life time they finally made decent left handed golf clubs...

[lgjhn23]

Another left-handed freeper here.
Maybe that’s why I don’t care to put up with RAT/commie BS.
FAFO.....

Sounds sinister.

[dfwgator]

I saw that!

[Towed_Jumper]

Lefties are weird. I think they are actually space aliens in disguise.

Help! Help! I'm being OPPRESSED!

[refreshed]

I am left-handed. It has defined me since I was a young child. I’ve had to overcome great difficulties living in a right handed world. That this has caused my left-handed brothers and sisters to suffer is no wonder. There’s only one way to fix this. Reparations.

There's something sinister about that.

[Sirius Lee]

I purposely left it there.

[Chickensoup]

One of my adopted children is left handed now.
She did not pick her dominant hand until she was five or six.
She still occasionally switches

She is schizoaffective, with some autism traits and thinks of herself as a man.

"Lefties are weird. I think they are actually space aliens in disguise."

My dad and late husband used to tell me the same thing. Not only am I left-handed (mostly ambidextrous), but I am also a redheaded female. They both said I should qualify as handicapped. LOL Both said I would have been burned as a witch in the 1700 and early 1800's. 😁

I write and eat with my left hand but do everything else with my right hand. I can eat with my right hand but left is more natural.

No, I don't have the above mentioned mental issues.

[erlayman]

Or PTSD ? There is a large list of mental abnormalities and atypical handedness. Schizophrenia I believe has been associated with leftness.

[FamiliarFace]

Left-handed people are the only ones in their right mind.

[Vermont Lt]

I agree. As a lefty, I’ve spent my life trying to get those damned scissors to work. It’s enough to drive you crazy.

(And the cuffs of my shirts used to have ink stains because I dragged them across the writing instead of in front of it.)
