Left handers, if you could become right handed with ease, would you?

    Now, I'm left handed and lately I've been thinking about this topic. I know it's hard to try and do things like writing in a right handed manner when you're left-handed but what if it wasn't? What if there was a way to change how your brain works so that doing things on the right just felt natural? I know that no one is 100% left or right handed but yeah...

    If you could start life again, doing exactly the same as you have done with your life up till now except you can write with your right hand quite well but you lose your ability to write with your left, would you? Why? Why not? I know some people who are right handed but wish they were left handed, so I wondered if there were any left handed people here who wished they were naturally right handed.

    Yeah... and let the thread begin!

    I'm a left hander, and while yeah, things like writing or some sports were harder for me to learn, because we are living in a right handed world and most people are automatically taught and treated like being right handed, I probably wouldn't change it. Being left handed is a specific trait I associate with myself, like I associate myself with being gay. It's a part of me. In fact, I consider being left handed as a challenge, not an obstacle. I like being left handed :grin:

    I've accepted the fact that I'm bisexual and gender queer so being left handed is fine with me

    I can use both, but I would rather stick with left. It makes me even more different, and while years ago I would have hated saying this, I've grown to like being different. Sorry for invading, but I thought "meh, close enough"

    If you want to be right-handed, just do it. It will only take about two weeks.
    I was born right-handed but switched in third grade. I wrote only with my left hand and within two weeks it was fully functional. Then I switched again in 11th grade and can write with both hands equally.

    Nah I enjoy being a bit different. Plus it's really funny when people who have known me for years suddenly exclaim "wait you're left handed?!"
