I'm left handed.
Everything's made for right-handed people, though. Even pianos. :I
I used to play the piano a bit. The melodies are always played with the right-hand because the higher notes are on the right-hand side.

Where's the mixed handed option?
I may write with my left hand, but there's several things I do left handed, like I eat the left-handed European style, I play guitar left handed, and I hold my hockey stick on the right side, which is considered "normal" for left handed people. So not really ambidextrous, even though I can use a mouse with either hand, but my left handed handwriting is even worse than my already dismal right handed, but I am capable of using my left hand for something. Only bad thing is my right hand tends to get very cold at times; using a computer I'm OK, just switch mouse hand. But for writing, it's a lot tougher.

Just because you use both hands throughout the day doesn't mean you're not left-handed or right-handed.
I am left-handed, despite the fact that I rarely use my dominant hand except for writing.

If you have a dominant hand, it should be pretty obvious. Such as, my right-hand writing is actually much better than my left-hand writing. But it's really difficult for me to write with my right-hand and feels really weird.

If you don't have a dominant hand, then you would be ambidextrous.

I'm more adextrous because bad hand-eye coordination.
But I get what you're saying. I guess I'm right, both, left, and neither all at the same time.
I'm used to being a weirdo already.

I think the word for that is Ambisinistrous.

The results of this poll lead me to believe that left handed people are more likely to answer this poll.  Either that or left handed people are really more likely to be trans.  I don't think that's likely.

To make you take our world away?

Discord, are we your prey alone,
Or are we just a stepping stone for taking back the throne?
Discord, we won't take it anymore
So take your tyranny away!

Definitely right handed, I do have good general coordination with both hands though...

Never hard of that exact word, but it's a good description.

I also believe that more lefties will respond. I'm also multi-handed, writing is the only thing I do with my left hand. My mum gave me left handed scissors, they were a pain as I used my right hand. I also write just fine with my right hand, but I prefer the left. So more of a leftie because of the writing I guess.

Right handed? Left Handed?

Yes,

I never really think about which hand I am using for things.

Something like ambicapable right dominant for me.

This is surprisingly interesting. I hope more members take part so we have a better sampling. Right now it's 14 right, 14 left and 9 ambidextrous. I have always been primarily left handed, though I'm somewhat ambidextrous with some things. For instance, I regularly switch my computer mouse from left to right to avoid carpel tunnel and such.

I've always suspected that transgender people probably have a lot of less realized special qualities. Nature doesn't let something happen without a reason. Left handedness is thought to correlate to a reversal of the more common brain-side usage. While the right brain is more intuitive in a right hander, the reverse would be true for a leftie. I don't know handedness fits into the TG situation, but it's interesting stuff.

I'm very right handed. I'd give up on transition right now, but my handwriting is really good so I must be a girl ;) (totally kidding :P of course!!)

I also use that tool often thought to be the bane of lefties everywhere.... a fountain pen.

I think my daughter is a lefty... she's 2, though. I'll be teaching her to write everything in mirror image.
