Ambidextrous?

 One of the things that I love is helping righties see the world, as much as they can, through the eyes of a left-handed person. As I have previously said on my blog ( https://fromthemouthofavoicelessactor.blogspot.com/2018/05/always-in-my-right-mind.html ),  most things in this world operate on a simple principle: if it doesn't personally affect you, then you most likely don't think about it. 

Over the years, I have had conversations with my wife about the struggles left handed people go through in a right handed dominated world. Recently, she started a conversation that I have never considered before.

She asked, "I wonder how many people who claim to be ambidextrous, are truly natural lefties that at some point in their lives had some sort of negative influence to make them also righties."

Before you say, that doesn't happen anymore, I'll stop you right there: Yes, it absolutely does. From right-biased school environments to subtle cultural corrections, left-handers are still pressured to adapt every single day

Thoughts? Be safe everyone.
