    We’re at the “demonization of being left-handed” stage of understanding.

    Yes you appear to be left handed but couldn’t you simply train to use your right hand? You and all the left handed people should work on that

      As somebody whose ambi, you have no idea how fun it is when a righty catches me writing with my left and making a big deal out of it…

      Only for me to be like “Ooops. I forgot” and switch back to my right.

      Are you sure? Sinister literally means “left-handed”. I don’t see introverted people being recognized in a similar way and not even close to as long.

        They are talking about the history of being left handed; how it was misunderstood, and how (by analogy) introversion is misunderstood today.
