I eat and write with my left hand. I throw a ball with my right hand.
I have often wondered if more ts folks are left handed?

I am left handed but write with my right hand.  My mum forced me to, when I was little and I never bothered to retrain myself to write with the left.  I also hold the mouse with my right hand.

Yeah lefties!

I don't know if this of interest to anyone but me but basically there is a gene for right handedness and an alternative allele for "random". Those that fall into the second category (all left handers, the naturally ambidextrous and a small proportion of right handers) retain a propensity of ambidextrousness and show less defined left / right hemisphere specialising of brain functions. As a result if this they tend to have better recovery from traumatic brain injuries and strokes.

Personally I'm right handed

I'm right-handed.  Maybe this could be a poll?

Oh  Both.. I write right handed, if you can call my chicken scratches writing, but throw left handed, eat either handed, etc. Though I have a dislocated right radus (arm bone) from birth so not sure what I would have been if my right arm had full range of motion
