Location EU
I found just ONE Kyusu for lefthanders in my country, so I'm trying to find more options. So if you have info about some sellers that ships within EU, I'd be happy.
EDIT: I would also prefer smaller size if possible.
Do you want a card that looks like it was postmarked from a kid just learning how to write? Look no further! To celebrate this day as a right-handed person, I decided that I will create some postcards using only my left hand (except for writing out the addresses. haha)
To receive a card from me, please:
- Comment below what I should draw (required) and give me a writing prompt (optional)
- Send me a PM or chat of your mailing information
Looking forward to testing out my ability to draw/write with my left hand! :)
In case you're wondering why this is relevant to our community: it seems like gay men are more likely to be left-handed than our heterosexual counterparts.
Being left-handed has historically been a curse in many cultures. The Latin word for left, "sinistra", gave us English "sinister". In some modern day cultures, it's still seen as unclean to do things like eat or hand over money with your left hand.
Evolutionary, it is theorized that being a southpaw has advantages: since left-handers are a minority, people who fight right-handed have a disadvantage. Left-handers could practice fighting against right-handers easily, but right-handers had many fewer opponents to train fighting left-handed people.
But it's not only in fighting situations that being left-handed offers benefits:
"Scientists at the University of Oxford say that the brains of left-handed people work differently than right-handed people.
In a study, the brain was monitored in left-handed participants. Scientists say the two sides of the brain were better connected in lefties and more co-ordinated, particularly in the areas that involve using language."
It's likely that right-handed people could achieve this too, if they were forced to do everyday things with the non-dominant hand.
Either way, happy lefthanders day to all katy-handed, goofy-footed mollydookers!
Hi lovely lefthanders. As a Lefthander myself the research of brain processes and differences between lefthanders and righthanders is essential in uncovering the true nature of lefthanders' existence. Please join my research and participate in my Masters study which takes about 8 minutes. Please leave me note for a direct link to my study. Keep in mind that only a PC or Laptop are suitable for this study. thank you very much for your continuous support :-)

Thank you very much :-)
Not really a true MSFS question, but it is relevant.
OK, so I have noticed both in-game and watching real-life cockpit videos that Airbus fly-by-wire systems usually have the Captains joystick on the left. Now as we know most people are right-handed - so I tried flying the A320 and swapping over my HOTAS so the joystick was controlled by the lefthand and throttle by the right. Let's just say it didn't end well. Does anyone know why the real A320s don't offer a righthand control? Do pilots just have to get used to using the lefthand stick, I've tried a few landings and they ranged from messy to disastrous.
(also ignore the fact most HOTAS systems are designed with right-handers in mind)..
Give it a go yourselves and report your results here.
This study takes about 7 to 9 minutes, supervised by members of Abertay University for my Masters project. Please try to avoid any distractions. Your participation is much appreciated. If interested, please leave me a note for a direct link.
Thank you for your support :-)
In the English language, you write from left to right, so left-handers may end up smudging the text or have to write in such a way so that the hand does not smudge the text. Also, if you are a left-hander, then a composition notebook would be a better option than a spiral notebook, because the metal rings of the spiral notebook are not comfortable when your left hand or arm is in the way.
In the Chinese language, Chinese characters come in squares and can be written vertically, from right to left, but published books that do this tend to be from the Republic of China (aka Taiwan) or maybe Hong Kong. I remember a non-Chinese YouTuber was reading a Cantonese novel, and the book was written vertically, from right to left. You may think that it has no left-handed bias, but here's the catch. If you want to make your characters look prettier and more calligraphic, it actually becomes tremendously easier to use your right hand because of the direction of the brushstrokes.
What are your experiences with writing in a language as a left-hander?
Have you ever trained your right hand to do writing and other stuff to make your life easier?
For the Exams (if they happen) does anybody have a recommendation for any pens (preferably 0.5 or smaller) which do not smudge. I currently use 0.5mm frixions and have seen recommendations for gel pens online though these aren't allowed by the IB. I know there once was a general pen recommendation post but I cannot find it.
Basically, the keys left and down don't function together. I play on PC and don't have a controller, so I'm using Keyboard Splitter application to emulate the controls on the keyboard. Any help would be much appreciated, thanks.
I think it's interesting that in conventional sports there are a lot of lefhander compared to righthander represented in the general population. I heard that some say it's "different" to play against a guy who plays with left instead of right.
But in esports it doesn't matter with which hand someone is dominant, so shouldn't it be like 90% righthander and 10% lefthander in pro play, like how it is in general. So if someone has statistics, it would be nice if he could share them.
