Thank You....I guess.....
That said do not misunderstand that post or any of my subsequent ones.
I do not for a moment seriously believe that there is anything wrong, morally or otherwise, with left handed people.
This is just lighthearted fun.
Political Leftists are a much different matter....[This message has been edited by randye (edited 10-23-2021).]

Not to worry. I (we, I would hope) are not offended in the slightest. But I (we) might feel better if you gave us some cash (with apologies to Don Henley).
I just think that, what with so many being either offended, apologetic, or offended for others, I should take up a cause of my own. Took a while to find one that wasn't already taken (although I kind of stole it from Christina Parlee, who made the original presentation described in the article). Still, this issue is far too important to go under-reported, under-recognized, and underappreciated for me not to help raise awaremess. Speaking of awareness, I doubt many of the right-handed masses are aware that most Muppets appear to be left-handed.
BTW, I can't believe I missed 'sinister' in my initial list (took two years of Latin in high school - still don't know why).[This message has been edited by OldGuyinaGT (edited 10-23-2021).]

Ah, I get it. Nobody left behind.
I guess that's all right, in an off-handed sort of way.

There are two types of "handed" in people:
Right handed and wrong handed

Right Hand Privilege
and I must say, it's about time left-handed people (of course I am one) were accorded our "rights" - see, bias even in reference to what is good, proper and moral principles of individuals.
I hereby declare that the following terms should be stricken from use as being microaggressive:
Gauche - French for left, in English it means 'socially awkward' or 'crude'
Left-handed compliment - speaks for itself
Southpaw - what, left-handed people are animals now?
I'm sure there are many more terms I could be triggered by, once I concentrate and identify them. And don't get me started with the liberal, progressive side of the political spectrum being referred to as 'the Left'.
At this point, I'm very upset with all you right-handed people who I assume are biased against us left-handed individuals. I propose that schools and corporations worldwide institute mandatory "Critical Handedness Theory" training so that you can feel appropriately 'privileged' and apologetic for the fact that you are not left-handed. And those who are ambidextrous, you're not off the hook - pick a side!
I will be setting up a GoFundMe page for you to send your reparations payments. (I will distribute the funds among various left-handed individual.. I mean individuals - as I see fit.
Thank You |

I am hand-fluid...
You are cis-handed... and that means you're still oppressing me while you are trying to hand-direction me.

A disproportionate number of Presidents are lefties.

Isn't that supposed to be the hand you wipe with, which is why some Asian women wear wedding bands on their right hand (or so I've read)?

I write with my right hand but will use what ever hand is closer for most things.
When I was young I broke both of my arms, twice each. So I had a 8 weeks of depending on only one arm.
That may have been when I started depending on both hands without much preference.
Perhaps having to depend on my non dominate hand when I was young let me develop those motor skills that I just took for granted.
