    Most lefties are at least somewhat cross-dominant and/or ambidextrous. Unclear whether that’s biologically or societally caused.

    For me, I use a mouse and scissors right-handed. I also bat right handed (whether in cricket or baseball). Same with golf.

      It’s adaptation. Most things aren’t made for left handed people so you’re forced to learn how to do things with your right hand. I do everything with my right hand except eat and write

        I use my mouse/trackball with my wrong hand, trackpad I use with either, I shoot a bow and a gun wrong handed (bow because there were only righty bows when I learned, and a gun due to an eye injury injury and I had to relearn).

        My parents were very supportive of my left handiness, my father even going as far as learning stuff lefty to teach me.
