So Someone Told me that a lot of Trans People are Lefites?

[fleurgirl]

So, a friend told me that apparently a lot of trans-people are left-handed. She's left handed and I am left handed, and we looked it up and so is Caitlyn Jenner. Are any of your ladies/dudes lefties?

Right handed here.

I am right handed, never paid attention to it. I will secretly check my friends at our next society meeting.

Someone told me that. I replied "I am always right, and always have been". Of course, women are always right, but I was referring to being right handed.

left handed here, adding to the stereotype

When I was first learning to write, way back in the Paleolithic era, I'd use whichever hand that big fat pencil happened to be in. I was "corrected" and taught that I had to use my right hand. Whether I would have ended up a lefty if I'd been left alone I guess I'll never know.

I do eat left-handed though. It just makes more sense to have the knife in my right hand.

Right handed, but left eye dominant so I learned to be left handed for shooting purposes.

Left Power!!!!!!

Left-handers think with the right side of their minds!!!!!!

And why, Yes - I'm a proud left-hander!

Ambidexter here

Lefty here! Quite strong left dominated.

Apparently, being left handed used to be associated with the devil, as was being red haired (which I also am) and I was born on Friday 13th.  I'm sure being gay and trans is also probably associated with evil by most religions.

Not much hope for me really!! lol.

Im a lefty too
My nan tried for ages to.make me right handed but didnt work )

I am right-handed for everything except firing a rifle, for some reason I tend do that left-handed. One of my daughters, who is non-binary, is also right handed. My wife and other daughter are left-handed.

[rosinstraya]

Very left wing here!

Oh. You didn't mean that sort of lefty.

Well, I'm right-handed in virtually everything with a little bit of  shambledextrosity thrown in for good measure.

It's pretty obvious when you look at the Latin words for each:

Right is dexter.
Left is sinister.

So endeth the pedantic entry of the day. [emoji849]

I use either hand for chopsticks.  And I'm bisexual.

[RobynTx]

Ambi here.  I write left but do everything both.  It makes sports quite complicated.

I use both hands for chopsticks. One stick in each hand.

I'm a lefty.  My grade 3 teacher was one who believed people should only write with their right hand and I received a ruler over my knuckles for using my left hand.

However, the question is how many trans are lefty vs the general population.  Is there a significant difference?
