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?

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 :P
I refuse to let negativity define me, I've let enough of others define me for long enough, I'm going to be the person I set out to be even if that means I drag myself kicking and screaming over thresholds to become the most amazing version of me.
Cheesy? Maybe... but why should that stop me ;)

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.

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.  >:-) >:-)  ;D ;D

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.

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]

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?
I'm a 65 year old male who has been thinking about SRS for many years.  I also was a  full cross dresser for a few years.  I wear a bra, pantyhose and nail polish daily because it just feels right.

Started HRT April 17, 2019.
