I've omitted ambidextrous or Cross-dominant categories because despite the fact that everyone is ambidextrous to some extent people tend to be dominant to one hand or or other generally and I have a sneaking feeling that everyone will pick that and make the purpose of the poll useless.

Several studies have been done that seem to show that Transsexuals have elevated incidence of left handedness compared to the cis-gender population

Confirms this phenomenon.
This study attempts to explain the relationship.

Of course you can be right handed and Transsexual I'm not saying that and it doesn't make your feelings any less valid. I've noticed it too watching certain Transwomens videos on you-tube when they are writing something that they also appear to be left handed.

So I just wanted to get an unscientific population assessment to see if this is the trend within our online community aswell.

MTF - Right-handed. I played some sports left-handed, but mostly I use my right hand just by default for writing, and lots of other things. Everyone tends to have those one-off exceptions to their hand dominance.

A study is a study, it definitely doesn't impact how I feel. Interesting articles; food for thought. This whole idea seems similar to the 'finger ratio' studies.

MTF - I write with my left hand, but am right-handed otherwise. I picked left-handed.

MtF - Right handed.  I do use my left hand when I have to do something blind, such as when I was and auto mechanic.  Find and removing or replacing bolts.

MTF, left-handed.  I do a small number of things right-handed, but almost everything important (eating, writing, etc) is left-handed.

I use both my hands for certain things but I more often write with my right hand so I consider myself to be right handed.

Left predominately but also a lot with my right hand, basically anything where I'm not given a choice (right handers world) and have to adapt.. guitar is a great example but with drums I had the option and can flip them around! Skateboarding was something I was quite balanced in.

MTF, right-handed. Well, almost. It depends.

I am unable to write with my left hand (except on a board, and even in that case...) and I am clumsy using a mouse with my left hand, however I do everything sports or housework-related, and many daily activities (eat, manipulate XYZ thingie) with my left hand, and I think I actually use the left more.

I've always tried hard to use my left hand as much as possible, because, uh, I have always had this weird feeling that being left-handed was better. It felt more feminine for some reason. Anyway.

Maybe, if I'm not alone to "feel being left-handed is better", this feeling could be investigated.

Another lefty here. I made a poll like this once lol.

Left handed for writing and eating, everything else right handed. I picked left.

Right-hand dominant, but I swing bats, open doors, adjust my glasses, and investigate my chin for hair almost primarily with my left. I also tend to hold things in my left hand but that may be a result of needing to operate things with my right.

I'm right, but interesting being left handed is really common in my family..

Right-handed here.

I understand your reasons for leaving out ambidextrous. My son is the only one I have heard of who was tested repeatedly in grade school and came out 50/50 on which hand he favored.(meaning no favorite) It baffled the school and he does some things with one hand and some with the other as well as switching of in mid stride for some things.

I voted righthand BTW.

*Raises both hands*

Genuine ambidextrous person here...I feel left out.

So right sided it's unreal, can use my left hand for waving and typing (you know, the important stuff!) but that's about it.

Dad was a lefty though!

Right handed. As far as I know, my entire family is also right handed.

Did teach myself to use my left hand in adult hood. Partly because I became concerned that I may, for some unforsen reson, lose the use of my right.

I'm definitely right-hand dominant, though when playing sports I had no trouble doing things lefty, whether batting left-handed in softball or shooting left-handed in basketball.

Definitely a righty, but there are a few random things that i do only left handed. Its weird.
