@the5thColumnist @BernieDoesIt @olena @ideogram Right, exactly. "where did all these left handed people come from - they weren't there when *I* was in school" etc.... or "did you try NOT being left handed"?

In another time you'd still have had no hands but been told you must identify as right handed while knowing nothing about what that should mean to you. Today we hope people realise that there are those for whom the question "Are you right or left handed?" is utterly meaningless if only due to the lack of appropriate appendages.
