    I was wondering if there was any correlation that being trans had with left handedness. The trans people I know seem to have a higher incidence of left-handedness than you would expect in a random trial. (non-binary people are under the trans umbrella btw) Although this poll is likely going to be slightly biased since trans people that aren't right handed will probably be more interested in this post than trans people that are right handed.

    If we are referring to writing strictly then I'm right handed. Aka Dextrous.

    I can't be sure, but I'm somewhere in the Ambidextrous side of things, I don't know if it would just be cross dominance or not... but I'm guessing ambi since I used to be able to write with my left and right hand just fine before my aunt told me to "stop switching hands and choose one!" which kinda fucked with my head and I started using my right hand to write with exclusively, but both my hands are pretty skilled in everything else, just my left is behind on writing comprehension these days. (not too far though, just a bit awkward) So yeah, take that as you will, I'm either cross dominant or ambidextrous...

    Mixed handed (cross dominance is pretty much the same thing)-different dominant hand for different tasks
    Ambidextrous- can use both hands (almost) equally well

    Right handed. <3 Some people just know lots of left-handed people. I know a large number of people who are cis and left-handed.

    Right-handed. Writing with my left hand is very painful for me. I can feel so much of a difference when it comes to muscles in each hand.

    Hm, from the results right now it seems like there's a higher incidence of non-right handedness than the general population, which is around 10%. Keep this thread going because there's less bias with a bigger sample size.

    I'm ambidexterous but there are somethings, like writing, that I can't do with my left hand. The list of what I can't do left-handed is pretty short however. There are also some things I can do right-handed, but not as well as left-handed (like cook).

    If we're referring to the hand you write with, I'm right-handed. If we're talking about everything else, almost anything I do with my right hand, I can do with my left as well.
