I guess I am old enough, that this hits rather hard. One of my relatives tried to do me the favor of not being left handed by injuring me in a way that would cause me problems for most of my life.
@@catxtrallways yeah. It is indeed very confusing. I think ultimately now, I forgive them as I've moved past that. But if I were able to stare them in the eye, they would see 40 years of pain they caused.
One of the reasons I love my grandmother so much is the way she take new information and instead of deciding it's a completely new thing in the world she'll retroactively apply it. Like when i explained to her about ADHD and autism she went "you know what, i think your mom's aunt have ADHD. And your grate grandmother probably had autism." she's 85 yo
Diversity is beautiful and valuable. My partner is left handed, but her mom said, “no, you pick it up with THIS hand” enough times that they went through k-12 using their right hand. Their left hand handwriting, without ANY practice, looks just as good as their right hand handwriting. They are fluently ambidextrous now.
Awesome! So well done. Poignant and nuanced. Bravo! You have a gift communicating messages and concepts. Do you write everything yourself? Have a group or team to brainstorm with? Either way, really love your stuff and I know how much work goes into creating stuff. Thank you. You are appreciated! 💖
This resonates so strongly. I was left handed as a child, but my mother forced me to use my right hand. I can't help but wonder how much my general clumsiness and terrible handwriting might be related to that. More broadly, I'm a late-diagnosed autistic trans person who was born left-handed, so I feel like a bit of a poster child for this argument :)
Yeah, except now it’s other spectrums. Gender, race, neurodiversity etc. He’s making a wider point that the way humans understand things and what is acceptable is always evolving. There are always those who fight progress, eventually history doesn’t look kindly on ignorance.
My mom, a left-hander, told me she had her left hand slapped with a ruler when she was a kid (in the 1950's). I'm glad society ended that torment. My mom became able to write with either hand, until she got MS, then died.
My grandma was left handed turned ambidextrous because she went to Catholic school (1930s/40s) and they tied her left hand behind her back for being the "devil hand", trying to force her into being right handed. She was also 1st gen American, daughter of Polish immigrants and was regularly told to "go back home". The American dream. Right.

I am so sorry that you both went through that and suffered lasting repercussions. Human-ing is hard. 🤗

@@catxtrallways She actually shows quite Manny signs of high masking, but i don't think she and the family are ready for that conversation
That's so refreshing to hear ❤

"wanting attention"... LOLOL! Always gets me - and the cure is to get out more, maybe go to a party.
You know, it shows how weak their arguments are when they use the same one for a hundred years and it's just as baseless now as it was then.
This was beautiful. Thank you.🏳🌈

Are there still people like that? 😮😮

I see what you did there.
