Tbf, if they didn't show him writing with his right hand, this would all be acceptable.
I write with my left hand, but play guitar right handed, pitch a baseball right handed, do basically everything right handed, except usung my left to write and do knife work in the kitchen.
Left handed folks are often ambidextrous.
Not to mention he's religious and back a number of years, you weren't allowed to be left handed, so maybe that is why he writes with his right hand in the scene, and maybe why it's such a liberation for him to come out as left handed? Idk
Pick a side already!
You right-handers force us into this position!
There's only one thing you use everyday that's made for the left hand and it's flushing the toilet!
Think of how that feels!
In europe almost all toilets have flush button in the middle of the tank
In the Europe I have been living my entire life in, positions of flush buttons are completely random and different on almost every toilet.
Where?
Both my toilets have the flushing thing on the right side.
NOW THEY TOOK THE TOILETS FROM US
Most things cater to right-handedness, there isn't much of a choice 🤷♂️
One oddity for me at least: I'm left handed, but right eye dominant; which means I aim a gun or draw a bow with my right hand, to line up with my right eye.
ay i'm right handed but left eye dominant so i shoot left handed. hello chiral twin!
I’m cross-dominant and left eye dominant but when I draw bows I use my right hand, pistols I use my right hand, but rifles I use left handed
I can’t explain why beyond that it’s just comfortable to do this way
Yeah, I used scissors as a main tool in my manufacturing job that I had nearly a decade, ..many tools are right handed. Even driving a stick shift is right handed work.
You adapt.
Technically you are mixed-handed as you use one hand mainly for particular actions, just different hands. Ambidexterity is being able to do anything equally well with either hand.
To be more exact, you are "criss-cross-applesauced" but it's a technical term.
i prefer the term "ambisinister"
That’s actually the technical term for being equally kack-handed with both hands. Right-handed propaganda, I know.
I had a teacher in high school who wrote poorly with both hands, he explained, because he went to a catholic school where they slapped his left hand with a ruler when wrote with it.
Yep, same situation for me. "Ambidextrous" roughly means "two right hands," so I like to joke that I'm ambisinistral - I've got two left hands.
You sound like you're right handed and just happen to write with your left. Lol
But really, your "definition" wouldn't be ambidextrous. That's for people who can do most tasks pretty much equally with either hand.
You would be known as "cross dominant". That's where you're better with one hand or the other, depending on what task it is.
I'm a fairly standard lefty myself, Im able to do most things pretty well with my right hand, but mostly always best with my left.
I'm right handed for writing but I prefer left for a lot of stuff. I ride primarily left forward on skateboard and snowboard. Throughout my childhood years everyone fucking hated my lefty hockey stick especially since the three lefties played right handed. Some games they forced me to either play right hand or sit out too.
Left foot forward IS the 'righthanded' way. Left foot forward is called regular stance, right foot forward is called goofy stance

oh I guess the people hassling me about it were the backwards ones
TIL I'm skating and snowboarding goofy, though I don't do those much
I'm riding bike left foot front, which is apparently considered goofy in BMX world
