Is there evidence that trauma causes left-handedness? I'd always heard that this was due to people no longer being punished for being left-handed, making it a good comparison for people fearmongering about rising rates of recorded transness or autism.

That would also imply that the trauma of ww1+2 are continuing to make people born in the 90s and 2000s left handed

Yes, its a quantum epigenetic resonance effect. I can sell you some crystals to treat it, if you like.
