Are you left handed?

[jacques]

hello,
I have read that the left hand side of our brain is more logical, sequential and masculine. It controls the right hand side of our body. The right hand side of our brain is more intuitive and controls the left hand side of our body. So I was wondering if male to female crossdressers are more likely to be left handed or left footed?
best wishes, Jacques.

[Super Amanda]

Nope.

[Alana65]

Am I left-handed ? Yes.

[kari,usa]

Interesting opinion . . .

[MssHyde]

[Iowagrown]

[ChanDelle]

What a great question. I've often wondered about this. I'm ambidextrous, and took a left brain/right brain test once and came out right in the middle. Go figure????

ChanDelle

[PattiL]

way to go and mess up a working theory Alexis :doh:

[gretchen2]

Ambidextrous but I favor my right. I can do just about anything with my left accept write. Well i can but it looks like a 4yr old wrote it.

[imarocker2]

Lefty here.

[Dragster]

I seem to be in the minority, right handed. Perhaps that's why I still consider myself very happy to be a man, and only occasionally wish to look like a woman.....

[deja true]

9% of the world's population is left handed...

(...and 47% of "facts" are made up on the spot!)

:D

[Samantha43]

I'm Right handed, logical, sequential and masculine. Except when I am crossdressed. Then I'm Right handed, logical, sequential and masculine but dressed in a skirt, heels and makeup......:eek: :)

[MichelleBolton]

Yes, I am...

[Jamee]

I am also left handed. Just remember that left handed people are
always in their righ mind!!!

I'm right handed.

But in grade 5 I cut a finger on my right hand quite badly and had to have a cast for six weeks (or was it a bit longer?) As this was during school, I had to learn to scribble somehow with my left hand, to keep up with my work. It turned out that my writing with my left hand was neater than my writing with my right hand. But I didn't keep up practicing, so I've lost the skill long long ago.

[Crysten]

But dominant right handed since age 6 or so.

[Linda Laman]

I am right handed and right footed. Most people are right handed and left footed. Maybe that's why I keep tipping over.

[dilane]

Left handed.

Off topic, but note that lately 50% of the presidents are lefties:

"Six of the 12 chief executives since the end of World War II will have been left-handed: Harry Truman, Gerald Ford, Ronald Reagan, the elder Bush, Clinton and Obama."

Lefties are only about 10% of the general population.

[Luciana Vitale]

Yes me too:daydreaming:

[bah-bah-bobbie]

chalk up another lefty. Haven't some if not most of the worlds greatest artists and philosophers been lefties? Michealangelo, Pythagoras, DaVinci, etc, or am I getting my facts srewed up again?

[Mindymaycd]

yes, one more here.

[Julieanne]

I use my left hand for strength and my right for dexterity (no pun intended). I'm both trans-handed and trans-gendered! :daydreaming:

Julieanne

[LadyMirabai]

I am right handed and right footed. Most people are right handed and left footed. Maybe that's why I keep tipping over.

Really? I'm right handed and left footed and thought I was strange...

Most right handed people I know are also right footed.

[sandyb40c]

Yes, I am left-handed.

[jennCD]

[PretzelGirl]

If you saw me write, you would say neither. But right is as close as it gets.

[natasha]

The only reason I have a right arm is to keep me balanced properly!! Left side dominant in every category.

The only ones in our right minds!!!!!:D

[alexmusic]

I too am a lefty

I am a right handed creative type and I am not a mans man and I ain't girlie when in dude mode. Now as a girl I am very girlie:)

[celeste26]

Trans-handed and transgendered also.

[Satin_Lover_13]

I was left handed and was forced to write right handed. Something’s I do left handed and some I do right. I am very sensitive, logical person.

[Zina]

Not in my right mind!:D

[Lacelover]

Lefty here !!!!

[kathtx]

Another lefty here.

[Lisa O]

Right-handed but I think I am able to be trained in using the right side of my brain more - God knows there isn't much in the left apart from taxation rules - I know, a pitiful condition but it does keep me employed!!!!

Maybe unrelated - I have a drawing book by Betty Edwards called "Drawing on the right side of the brain". The theory is that during our early years at school, the artistic/creative side is forced out by logic and analysis (mostly by the education system). However, if you take an adult and train them to access the right side of the brain, artistic ability returns big time (a way of looking at things). It starts as typical of a (say) 9 year old or so but it doesn't take long to develop and becomes a switch on/switch off thing. Not sure if its a right/left handed thing though.

Interesting thought (or not!)- is cding for many of us an example of a creative "switch on" from our logical, analytical lives much the same as Edwards promotes in art? What we see as a feminine personality is perhaps accessing another part of what we are? Not in everyone but just a special few!

Just a thought and probably rubbish!!

[Marissa]

: ) are more lefty(s) going to reply to this.. i'm lefty, but how many righties don't say a thing????????

by the way, my brain doesn't control anything..lol if it did, i wouldn't make so many mistakes.. :)

[Karen564]

I was left handed and was forced to write right handed.
Wow, it's been so long, I haven't thought about this in years, until I saw this thread..and brought back some old memories..

Same here, I started off as a predominate lefty, and do remember having a hard time learning how to write well with my right hand at 1st, I was told it was for my own good, why that mattered to anyone, I have no friggin idea, and it never made any sense to me, because my penmanship was better in my left than right, so I was ambidextrous for a while but I gradually stopped using my left hand more as time passed, and now have been right handed for so long, I can't write lefty anymore to save my life.. it now looks more like doctors scribble/scratch for a script. LOL

But I do notice myself reverting back to lefty in other things every now & then..so I think some things just weren't meant to be changed.

[Shelly67]

Left and proud . Llike so many other lefties - very artistic too .

[Suzie S.]

I'm a lefty also! :thumbsup:

[Lois Page]

Right-handed. Maybe why I was a late bloomer.
Lois

[Edwina]

I, too, am a lefty.

That said, in the latter part of my career I was a computer programmer in APL. Anyone remember that? :)
Now was that using my logical brain or my creative brain? :devil:

Oh, and very left footed. :)

:love:

Edwina

[diane51]

Righty tighty

[Susan Watersfield]

Left handed, but not very artistic.

Oh, and I (did) play most sports right handed/footed. Figure that one out :)

Luv

Susan

[Josephine 1941]

Hi Jacquas. I am, both left and right handed. At the age of 5 going to a catholic school in 1947, the nuns tied my left hand to my side am made me become right. I guess you can say I am AC DC. Have to admit I am. I am living with a beautiful woman that loves me this way, I am also lucky to have found her. We are both the same side in cloths 16 and shoes 11, She bought me a wig the same color, and style as her hair so we can go out as sisters. :brolleyes: :confused2::404::fs::hf::sw:

[Angie G]

Yes I am left handed.:hugs:
Angie

[nicoleazcd]

yes I'm a lefty.

[Jaydee]

I too am primarily left handed. I recieved all sorts of grief from teachers over it. Interestingly, like Susan, I play sports with my right hand. I guess I am "TH"

Jaydee

[Diane1950]

If the left side of the body is controlled by the right side of the brain, that means that us lefties are the only ones in their "right" minds. Right?

[Juanita O]

I am also left handed. we are the only ones in our right minds.

[kelliboots]

lefty here!

[Chrissy be good]

Like many on the board, I go both ways. I'm ambedextrous.

[JoAnne Wheeler]

I am ambidextrous and I feel that my brain is half female and half male


JoAnne Wheeler

[Kiva]

Lefty here too. :)

[izzfan]

I'm left handed too

[Jenna81]

I'm a lefty!!

[BethCD]

Another lefty here!

[Rachaelb64]

Ambidextrous, but favouring the my left hand :)

[Lisa Golightly]

Righthanded... Extremely artistic... spacially impaired and logically inept... I'd be the lab rat they quietly dispose of...

[Tina B.]

Left handed, not sure which footed, I just can't hold the pencil between my toes!
Tina

[KellyCD]

I'm (mostly) left handed as well.....hmmm their sure is alot of lefties here....


I say mostly because some things just feel more natural right handed. Such as, certain pistols, guitars and throwing are all right handed for me. But writing, rifles, and whatnot are left hand dominant for me.

[veronica]

Right Handed Here

[Rikidee]

This is amazing. I am left handed as well!!!

[danaillecd]

right handed also

[Jilmac]

Yes, I have been a lefty all my life and come from a family with two lefty siblings. Did you notice the thumbsup symbol :thumbsup: is lefty? What does that say about righties :thumbsdn:?

[Mary Morgan]

Another Lefty Here

[Gisele]

I'm a lefty

[MsJanessa]

Right handed, as you can tell from My avatar

[Chari]

I too am able to write using both hands, and also enjoy swimming/scuba diving as well as land adventures! Does that classify me as an ambidextrous amphibious individual?

[TG-Taru]

Think more of the lefties will respond, so I'll throw in my balancing bit too - I'm right handed.

[Stephanie Michelle]

Lefty for me BUT concidered ambidextrous as I do alot of things right handed people do. Can't cut with left handed sissors at all.

Stephanie Michelle

[valenstein]

Lefty.

I've read so many different theories about left-handedness, I don't know what may or may not be true. It's possible left-handedness may mean you have a disposition for intuition, but whether you develop and explore it, I don't know.

There goes the theory of: Righty Tighty Whitey, Lefty Lucy. :)

[Syndi]

Yes I am left handed.

[Sharon]

I go both ways.

[Susieboots]

me too!

And me as well :^5:

[Samantha Kelsey]

I'm left handed.

[Leslie Mary S]

While I consider myself I am ambidextrous. I would most certainly also be consider a true Lefty.
Story time:
In first grade my teacher broke several rulers on my left hand. Well dad was an USAF officer and when he saw the bruses he had a fit. Not because of the corrections for using my left hand but for fear My hand would be damaged and then I could not follow him and lean to fly.
Strangely I never did learn to fly. I had an appointment to the USAF academy but go the "no go' because at the time they were not accepting weak eyes (glasses wearers) At the time I did not know that I had weak eyes. I was just ambliopitic (wandering eye).

[Regina]

Left handed....When I was five, I was told that my teachers would break me of writing with my left hand in school.....they failed!



Regina

[Leslie Mary S]

By the way to I consider myself a lefty in my right mind.

[Sandygal]

One more lefty here.

[Karren H]

Right handed... But I shoot the puck left handed!! That mean I'm more fem when I'm cross checking someone?? Lol.

[JillHill]

I am left handed, out of a era when schools, especially cathholic, tried to turn everyone to be right-handed And proud of it.

Luv, Jill

[Sammy777]

Left-handed-ness (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Left-handed)

Yes another South Paw here.
Although I do think with both sides of my brain fairly equally.

My Grandmother, Mother and older Sister are also all left handed.
While my [self proclaimed] Tomboyish Sister, Grandfathers, Father and Brother are all right handed.

I think I see a pattern forming here, lol. :thumbsup:

[Susan Dee]

Right. But I count banknotes left-handed :)

Is anyone keeping score? Looks like it's around 80% left so far.

[monika]

I am lefthanded.

[lynda o]

Lefty here too

[Nicki B]

This is amazing. I am left handed as well!!!

Not really amazing, given the thread title? ;)


Right handed... But I shoot the puck left handed!!

Are you, perhaps, left-eyed? :strugglin

The last time there was a poll on this is here (http://www.crossdressers.com/forums/showthread.php?t=71098)... And yes, I'm a southpaw too.

[Leslie Mary S]

Yep left eyed too.

[lisajane]

Southpaw here, but very ambidextrous

[Sammy777]

So far we have had 59 Lefties respond. Not bad.



My Grandmother, Mother and older Sister are also all left handed.
While my [self proclaimed] Tomboyish Sister, Grandfathers, Father and Brother are all right handed.


Yes, I have been a lefty all my life and come from a family with two lefty siblings.

Are your left handed siblings male or female?

It would be interesting to see if others have Lefty streaks in their family and what the M to F ratio is.

[sometimes_miss]

: ) are more lefty(s) going to reply to this.. i'm lefty, but how many righties don't say a thing????????

by the way, my brain doesn't control anything..lol if it did, i wouldn't make so many mistakes.. :)

Lefties are more likely to take part in poles like this one.

As above, most women are right handed also. So, I don't think which hand we favor has anything to do with the gender issue. Or, do you think we've had a recent run of crossdressers in the white house? You can make statistics say anything you want. Just arrange the questions to lead towards your results.

[María José]

I´m left-handed too

[suspender]

who isnt. Three of my five cd friends are also lefties.

[Nena]

I am a lefty.

[michelle1980]

Lefty but I'm definitely left brained. Logic logic logic is my mantra.

oddly enough my dad's aunt is the only other lefty in the family.:tongueout

[Sigrid Cutie]

well i'm ambidextrous so i use both hands equally :)

[susan_]

I'm a left too; it seems that I finally fit in somewhere:)

[Michelle 51]

Another lefty here.

[Ashley_1962]

left handed......it would be interesting to conduct a real scientific study - I am sure we could find some government funding to support it..

also seems to lots of 'bi-handed' gurls out there as well..very curious.. :)

Ashley.

[CD Susan]

I am right handed. What is this right and left footed thing? What do you you do with your feet besides walk?

[Donnaph]

Yes

[Nicki B]

I am right handed. What is this right and left footed thing? What do you you do with your feet besides walk?

Run and kick a ball - which foot do you use, to hit a target accurately?

Point at an object - which eye controls where you position your finger? (Clue - keep pointing without moving the hand, then close first one eye, then the other.)

Of course, it could also be used to describe your religion (http://www.probertencyclopaedia.com/cgi-bin/res.pl?keyword=Left+Footer&offset=0)... :heehee:

[vivianann]

I am left handed too

[Siobhan]

A little confused . I write right handed because i was taught to do so ,but do quite a lot of things left handed and often make mistakes about directions. I dont think my apparent gender alters this!
Siobhan

[Ellen Ross]

Right handed here. But I have never seen so many left handed in one group - maybe something to this.

[Marissa]

okay, i posted already that i'm lefthanded..but funny thing is that i'm also mixed up with which side to use.. for instance, i kick with my right leg.. i catch and throw with my left (yes its funny watching me play outfield). I write with my left.. swing golf club right handed..bat right handed..see i'm so mixed up..no wonder i'm a cd...lol ok..i'm just kidding..k? don't lence me up yet... :)

[Shikyo]

One more for the ambidextrous ones here.

Since I was a child I've always ate the left handed(Fork in the right, knife left), however I can also eat right handed without problems, I just not like to do it. Writing is done by the right hand mainly for practical reasons, but for example with Japanese I found out that I'd actually have a nicer writing if I'd use my left hand.

In games like squash, badminton or tennis I tend to change my hitting hand on the go, if the situation needs it. Basically, I can use any hand for any task, but I've gotten used to use one hand for one task and usually stick to it.

[Nicki B]

Right handed here. But I have never seen so many left handed in one group - maybe something to this.

But Ellen - look how the question is worded?

Given the total numbers of people who visit this site, perhaps you're getting a false impression.. It's bound to attract those of us who see ourselves as a minority, to post?

[Byanca]

Right handed and right brained. But can write with left as well, sometimes I do. Have no idea on the footing.

[Paula G]

Lefty as well, along with sister & mother. Dad is the oddball in our family.



It's just that we right-handers weren't so attracted to the title of this thread. It's what's called a non-random sample.

I think since people notice lefties more when we do things left-handed and since most things are made for righties, we are more aware of being left handed, more proud of being left-handed and therefore more likely to respond to this thread.

[jennylogan]

It's tough being left handed in a right handed world but I enjoy my lefthandedness immensely. It's funny watching family members trying to use my left handed corkscrew to open wine bottles.

[Leslie Mary S]

Didn't even know they made a lefty cork screw.

[Scotty]

Ambidextrious..

[Elizebeth]

Did not have a promament had untill I was about 10 and still do things with my left that most do with there right and vice versa to this day.

[sadie67]

i'm a righty but play footie left & right footed
