Everything I do with my hand I do lefty. Eat, write, brush my teeth hair etc... Everything I do with my arms I do righty, throw, bat, kick, shoot etc....

I do other things various ways.. Shoot pool left handed, play air hockey with my right arm/hand, and play drums right handed... I'm more comfortable fishing with a bait casting reel, so I like to reel with right hand and retrieve with my left...

I'm really screwed up...

But I do write left handed...

In a 2006 U.S. study, researchers from Lafayette College and Johns Hopkins University concluded ...among college-educated people, left-handers earned 10 to 15% more than their right-handed counterparts.[59]

What about left footers?


My right hand is dominant but I'm left-legged dominant. Jump off with left, kick left, pivot left, etc.


I’m all righty, wife is all lefty. Our oldest son is seven and he does everything righty except with his feet... so far awesome soccer player and kicks with his left foot..., scored 17 goals in one game.... our younger boy is 4, seems to be righty but he’s a weird little dude

I have ink smeared on my left pinky, have to sit to the left of my right-handed family members at the dinner table, can't use scissors worth a shite, and hot brass flies into my face at the gun range. Checking in.

When people ask what the hell is wrong with me I tell them I'm left handed but right footed and they seem to understand.

Lefties jump off the right foot just fyi.

Source: I am a lefty. And I do EVERYTHING lefthanded. Writing, eating, baseball throwing and swinging, golf, basketball, pool. You name it, I do it lefthanded.

And as others have mentioned, you righties need to check yo privilege.

You should have boxed. Fighting a south paw is tough.



It's the same in fencing. Everyone hated facing me because I was the super rare lefty.

Now when it got really fun is when I faced another left handed fencer.



ETA: I'm probably more ambidextrous than a true lefty. I can shoot, bat, fence, golf, etc. with either hand. I can only write with my right hand and throw with my left though.

Who is more oppressed, a right handed gay black Muslim woman or a left handed straight white Christian man?

I drive left handed.

And I write left handed while typing.

I'm left side dominant on everything, but I never use it. Didn't want to stick out as a kid.

Mostly ambidextrous, but I enjoy doing things with my left hand more usually.
