What about right-handed people who identify as left-handed people?

I write, eat and hammer left-handed but I play ball and shoot right handed. I’m really screwed.

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

And right-handed people are just dick heads.

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

Many of us here have known and feel your pain. You don't have to suffer alone.

One of the pleasures we left-handers get in life, is watching a right-hander try to do almost anything with their left hand, which is virtually useless. We, on the other hand (no pun intended), are often equally dexterous with both hands. This comes in quite handy (again, no pun intended), when working in tight spaces, among other things.

Still, we live with daily irritations because everything is designed for righties.

Trans-handers?

Ha! I remember in high school, when erasable-ink pens came out. I couldn't use them, because I'd end up with the entire outside of my left hand covered in ink, and the writing on the page smeared almost beyond recognition. Another thing in school - all of the chair/desk combos had the arm support on the right side, so my left arm was hanging off the desk whenever I tried to write.

I second that idea as a fellow Lefty, it was downright torture being taught to write from a righthanded teacher, learning to cut things with righthanded scissors, opening locks, writing on a chalkboard, it’s handicapped me the rest of my life, it’s about time we get compensated.

As a Lefty, I love baseball, started playing little league when I was maybe 5-6 years old, we were discriminated against from the first day, as a lefty we were told we could not play certain positions, like 3rd base, short stop, 2nd base, catcher, etc...

Even seen a catcher’s mitt designed for a lefty ?? They do exist, but it’s like extremely difficult to find them.

My dyslexic daughter is left handed and had a childhood stutter.

Yes I am! I always tell my skin doctor if I have to have a skin cancer removed. They adjust for it. I had one doctor look at me and ask, “are you Scottish?” I said my ancestry is Scot, Irish, Dane, and Welsh, but mostly Scots. He said I have skin that should never see the sun. 😆 Even my dentist adjusts my local anesthesia if doing any type of work. If I flinch, I get another shot.

I was once told that the combination of red hair, blue eyes and left-handed ended with the verdict of being a witch during the Salem Witch trials.

It is something like 40% of girls that are transgender are on the spectrum for autism. Another 30% have other mental disorders like anxiety, depression, OCD, etc. So a total of 70% or more have clinical mental issues - but the doctors, instead of treating those actual issues, say “Hey - we can make you better by giving you hormones and cutting off your breasts.”

They, and the trans-cult that supports it, are evil and ruining our wonderful daughters.
