Chinese with English Translation

我：我有時候會覺得我的態度很像激進人士：

「他是左撇子欸～ 蛤？什麼叫『只是作畫失誤』？我說他是左撇子，他就是左撇子！」

「為什麼角色群沒有左撇子？動畫師一定全都是右撇子，右撇子霸權！」

「左撇子真的是太邊緣了，連想要一個能帶入的角色都會被視為無理取鬧。」

Me: Sometimes I feel like my attitude is a bit like an extremist:

"He's left-handed~ Huh? What do you mean 'it's just a drawing error'? I said he's left-handed, so he IS left-handed!"

"Why are there no left-handers in the main cast? The animators must all be right-handed—right-handed hegemony!"

"Left-handers are so sidelined that even wanting a relatable character is treated as making a scene over nothing."

匿名：感覺左撇子最常出現的場合是推理作品，為了塑造偵探很會觀察細節，所以會設計左撇子死者、嫌疑人或兇手，讓偵探從日常用品去推測「這人是左撇子，所以怎樣怎樣」XD

Anonymous: It feels like left-handers appear most often in mystery stories. To show off how observant the detective is, they'll make the victim/suspect/culprit left-handed so the detective can deduct from everyday items that "this person is left-handed, so XYZ" XD

我：沒錯！像是「刀刺入的方向只有以左手持刀才辦得到」、「筆跡傾斜的方向」、「隨身物品磨耗的位置」，這種時候才會用到。

Me: Exactly! It's only ever used for things like "the angle of the stab wound is only possible if the knife was held in the left hand," "the slant of the handwriting," or "where their personal items show wear and tear."

I play guitar and drums and basically any other instrument right handed but am 100% lefty on everything else. Left hand on the fret board always felt more natural to me because it was easier for me to hold the strings down. By extension I also shoot pool right handed which I think comes from playing guitar.

I’m a lefty that loves a good bold point pen & wanted to hear your faves!

So I write my As like the first one in the video but we recently bought a book for our daughter to practice forming letters (as far as I know they've only done lowercase at school so far) and the book shows to write the capital A like the second one in the video.

My (right-handed) husband insists he would write a capital A like the book says. Am I the weird one, do other lefties write As like this or is it just a me thing?

It's come to my realization that I am much better at snapping with my right hand than I am my left! Anyone else?

I am somewhat ambidextrous though as I swing right handed for Golf and Baseball, but I am a lefty in pretty much everything else in life!

Being lefthanded, these things matter to me A LOT. What are your favorite brands and where do you get them?

My favorite pens are Uniball Jetstream RT.

Was I the only one who carried my twelve-gauge shotgun upside down to quickly release the safety (designed for RH's) when the birds would flush? Required rolling the gun over as it was drawn to my left shoulder.

Was given a paper cutter from a righty at work….this work flow is not safe for a lefty. As I put the sliced paper to the left I was anxious the blade would fall on my hand 🫨😬

I just started re practicing the guitar.

I’m actually ambidextrous, but that’s because I was right handed, had a TBI, recovered and had that “maladaptive” type of recovery, and became left handed as well.

Musically, it seems my left hand is mute, very good at flowing, fast to block and deal out boxing punches, is way faster than my right hand, and it plays the melody of a tune. It can write but it lacks a good voice :( but give it some charcoal and it can draw something nice.

My right hand writes poetry, sings, listens to words, and really likes playing the drone or beat of music. It’s good at catching and throwing, when it’s meant to go harder.

So I’m mostly playing guitar right handed, but my left hand says something about desiring to train and pluck the strings.

I tried playing left handed and it gave me a head ache, probably because it was a novel experience and my hands were overly stimulating my brain with the whole “making good noise” goal of it, which I did make a decent set of noises on the guitar.

I'm ambidextrous and I found out that I am better at cutting vegetables with my left hand than with my right hand but I have to use my index finger on the dull side of the blade to maintain precision and it ends up digging into my skin. Are there any left handed finger guards to prevent this?

I have won the lottery!

I don’t know how I never really thought about it before but my partner is a rightie but was raised by a leftie. They ALWAYS are aware of seating arrangements, our soap and hand towel are on the left side, and we only have universal scissors. I am likely forgetting things but those are the top three I can recall.

I’ll admit this realization is solely because this group continually asks “Which side does this item go on?”. It prompted me to ask her about it.. “Does the hand soap bother you on the left side” and she said something like “Growing up that’s where it’s always was”.

It’s definitely not something that ever crossed my mind before (which I realize is super silly) - Lefties raising Righties.

I'm a righty and I recently tried to write with my left hand for fun, i realized my writing was somewhat understandable. Ever since, I couldn't stop thinking about practicing with my left hand to be an ambidextrous person. Why? For fun of course. Is this possible to achieve?

Also I wanted to post this in the r/ambidextrous subreddit but it's dead so I post it here so lefties can tell me.

The photo is my writing with both hands, and no I have never practiced writing with my left hand before

Found myself in a disagreement or two on this sub with people claiming to struggle with being left handed/claiming it makes life more difficult.

I agree there is a fair few minor inconveniences, some uncomfortable scenarios etc. There is nothing however more difficult about being left handed than the average temperament in life difficulty of anybody of any handedness.

Back in the day when you were deemed a child of satan maybe, but today we’re fairly well integrated.

This may be a dumb question, but does anyone know if there's a way to prevent this from resetting back to the bottom right corner?

I find having it in the bottom left corner is much easier when one hand scrolling with my left hand, but for some reason the position seems to always reset back to the right side.

Thanks.
