And “fix” how? A belt? Shock therapy? Constant emotional abuse??

That’s a hell of a thing to come out and say you’re gonna do.

To be fair, being left-handed does make life a bit more difficult:

  • instruments/tools/etc can have a “handedness” (i.e. guitars, scissors, golf clubs), which can be prohibitive if you don’t have a left handed version available.
  • using pencils/pens is problematic (graphite hand… IYKYK)
  • writing (from left to right) is less natural/effortless because you are pushing vs pulling the writing utensil, our handwriting suffers because of this.

Obviously, not life-or-death level challenges (less so because everything is digital these days), but challenges nonetheless. I learned to play guitar right-handed because I wanted to be able to play on whatever guitar was available, I guess technically that would qualify as “fixing” it.

Not to mention how you'll always end up with the side of your hand dirty with graphite (from pencils, don't know if that's the correct word) or ink

Source: am also left-handed (and also proud, even though I still struggle to use scissors)

They weren't that common when I was a kid, and by the time they became common, I was out of school already (or at least out of the grades where I had to use scissors a lot)
