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

[KathyLauren]

I am very strongly right-handed.  My left hand is just along for the ride.  The only thing left about me is my politics.   

[Bari Jo]

I'm left handed and use my left to draw, write, paint and carve, golf.  I use my right for violin, guitar, silverware and knitting, mousing.  Maybe I'm bi:) (handed)

I am left handed in almost all things.

Like Stephanie I consider I eat main course left handed as I have knife in my right hand. I eat soup with spoon in my left hand and dessert with spoon in my left hand. Hence journey to mouth from left hand always. Illogical to me that right handers also eat main course left handedly.

My exception as I suppose I just go along with it - the mouse is on my right and I hence use my right hand.

Left handed here. Though my preschool teacher made me write with my right hand so that's the only way I know how, but I'm left handed for sure.

[TonyaW]

Ambidexter here

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

My Latin teacher in high school wanted to add the word ambisextrous to the dictionary for bisexual.

I am left handed but I can do many things with my right hand 

[Kendra]

Sometimes I feel left behind.  I don't know if that's right.

If that's wrong I don't want to be right.

Right said Fred; get yo sexy on😀

right handed. I used to be ambidextrous but years of ignoring my left turned it into a limp wobbly worthless appendage .. so that makes two of them.

Also, to those that commented about eating with their left, that is normal for right-handed people. You use your dominant hand to use the knife which requires more fine control than stabbing with a fork.

Right handed here. 
I am a total klutz with my left hand....   
I am definitely right handed and was right handed long before I knew that I needed to transition.

I wonder where that fake theory originated??

I blame the liberal left, they want credit for everything!!

I often wondered about that too.  It does seem illogical to me, too.  It is likely historical: a knife as a weapon was weilded (by right-handers, of course) in the right hand, and since table knifes originated as people's personal daggers, the right side became the side for the knife, forcing the fork, once it was invented, to be used in the left hand.

I can use a fork effectively in the left hand, just because of lifelong habit, first taught as a young child.  It is about the only thing I can do left-handed.  And I can only do it when holding a knife in my right hand.  When eating without a knife, I use the fork in my right hand.

the mouse is on my right and I hence use my right hand.

OK, I lied, I can mouse with my left hand.  Mostly, I use the right.  But every six months, my shoulder starts to complain.  To avoid a repetetive stress injury, I switch to my left hand for a while.

Not only do we want credit for everything (why pay cash), but we want to rule the world!!!!!

Poor baby, we still love you even if you are handicapped

[Kylo]

Nah, I'm right handed.

Except when it comes to playing piano, that's an ambidextrous instrument.

It always seemed illogical to me to move the fork to your left hand to cut up something with the knife in your right hand, then set the knife down and switch the fork back to your right hand to eat. Lots of extra motion and you have nothing in your other hand to shove something onto your fork.

I'm certainly no cosmopolitan jet-setting world traveler, but it's my understanding that in Europe the fork is held in the left-hand and the knife is held in the right hand and there's no switching back-and-forth. It's seems much more efficient to me.

Makes sense to me as a right hander since the fork in the left hand is just used to hold the food down while you cut it with the knife; the knife is doing the precision movement and the left is just holding something still and then putting it in your mouth.

[Shiratori]

Right handed here. The only thing my left hand is any good for is changing gear when I'm driving.

[Laurel D]

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?

Definitely right-handed gal here.
