I know a lot of left-handed people. I think nowadays they are more accepted than before when they were forced to use the right hand which I think is wrong since I guess it's something biological and you should not force it if you feel comfortable using your left hand instead of the right.

@sol_cee There's none but in the past, they believe that it should be corrected. But I know nowadays they do not do that anymore.

That was cruel, forcing lefties to be right handed. Is there a valid reason for that?

Me me me - I am hidari-kiki! I am the only lefty in my family. My dad thinks maybe he was a lefty as he is stronger in certain ways with his left . . . he comes from a time when lefties were corrected to become right handed.

Being a lefty had some challenges . . . but I'm ok being lefty

. Have you ever tried to do things left handed? Many lefties have had to just do things righty out of no choice (like using a computer mouse), so many of us are ambidextrous

As a child I was determined to be a leftie and took everything in my left hand including spoons, Then mom decided I should be right-handed and began putting stuff into my right hand, As a result, I became right-handed but can write quite well with my left hand and draw
