I vaguely recall a classmate in the first or second grade being forced to go righty. It's sad such mindless conformist idiocy was still being practiced into the early '70's.

In spite of my facetious humor, this genuinely happened with my brother as well. He was born a leftie, but now does everything right-handed thanks to his first grade teacher.

I was a bit ambidextrous before the hand police caught up with me. I still favor the left hand on some tasks, but can't write with it.

(Back in character) Dexter is Latin for right-handed! Don't you see, even your commonplace terms are inherently manusist! What should you call the leader of a committee who writes equally well with both hands? An ambimanus chairperson of course!
