  @inthewoods23 I am not but have quite a few lefties in my family/friend group! I always heard that males are more likely than females to be lefties but that's never been true in my groups- my dad and 2 make cousins are the only male lefties I know, while my female list is 10+. Is anyone else in your family a leftie?

  @_orchid_ on my mom's side I have 2 or 3 uncles that are lefties. One of my female cousins might also be a lefty but I'm not sure. I think I know more female lefties outside my family though.

  I am not but MH is somewhat ambidextrous, he writes with his right but does everything else with his left, and his mom suspects that she may have inadvertently forced him into righthanded writing when he was meant to be a lefty.

  MH is left handed but he can do a lot with his right side. His sister is a true lefty that does everything left handed. His parents are both right handed and I guess it’s really rare for 2 right handed people to have 2 left handed children, which is pretty interesting!

  I'm not, but my brother is a southpaw. I think one of my maternal uncles is too, but I'm not entirely sure.

  Nope, but my grandfather on one side and grandmother on the other were.

  +1 for a right-handed person having a LH husband!  My little sister is LH, too.

  Yay us lefties! And the smearing struggle is real. I've ruined school papers as well as drawings. Despite this I'm still proud to a member of the group!
