Ambidextrous means gay

It’s not easy finding a language to talk about nonbinary experience, but I think this gives me a shot. Most people are right or left handed. Right is considered normal, left is more acceptable than it used to be. You can make this a male/female metaphor or a straight/gay metaphor if you like! I think it works best as the latter because left handed people used to come under a lot of pressure to try and behave right handed.

Looked at from the outside, most bodies have discernible right and left sides. A person with a single dominant hand will likely guide with the foot on the same side as the leading hand. They will experience one side of their body as dominant and one side as less useful to them. Right and left aren’t abstract concepts at this point, they are names for a lived and felt difference in how bits of a person’s body works.

I don’t experience the right and left-ness in my body in the same way. I can lead with either side, hands or feet. I find it more convenient to document with my right hand, but my left handed writing is adequate. I iron left handed, I paint passing the brush back and forth. I don’t deny that I have right and left hands any more than I deny that I have a f

Ambidextrous people more likely to be fluid, study says

People who can write with both their right and left hands are more likely to be attracted to both genders new research has found.

For years scientists have been fascinated by left-handed people and a number of studies include suggested that southpaws are more likely to be lesbian or to endure from certain illnesses and disorders.

Not right according to University of Guelph psychology professor Michael Peters. He and his colleagues found no differences in the health or sexual preferences of right-handed and left-handed people.

"In fact they were remarkably similar to each other in all of the comparisons we looked at" he said.

But those who were ambidextrous at least when it came to writing stood out.

Not only were they more likely to be double attraction and to a lesser extent gay they also reported suffering from asthma hyperactivity and dyslexia more than individuals who were more definitive about which hand they prefer.

The study involved 255000 people who answered questions on the BBC Science and Nature web site. Participants were asked 150 questions about demographics person

Sex ID

Handedness, birth direct, and sexual orientation

Psychologists Richard A Lippa and Ray Blanchard analysed data from the BBC web experiment, Sex ID. Here, Richard Lippa summarises their findings, which were published in the April 2007 issue of the Archives of Sexual Behavior.

Recent studies have documented that gay men and lesbians are more likely to be left-handed (or ambidextrous) than heterosexuals are. Also, gay men are more likely to have an excess of older brothers, compared to heterosexual men—a phenomenon termed 'the fraternal birth order effect'. The most recent studies that observe at both factors at the matching time suggest that the fraternal birth order effect is true for right-handed gay men but not for left-handed gay men – that is, older brothers increase a man's odds of being gay only for right-handers.

In the Sex ID research , we asked participants to report their sexual orientation, their degree of right- versus left-handedness, and how many older brothers and sisters they had.

Some of the major findings of the novel study:

  • More gay men than heterosexual men reported being left-handed (13% versus 11%). Similarly, more dyke women than heterosexual women

    Next up on our series for bi-visibility week, Gaysi speaks with Tanisha Rao. We discuss the process of discovering one’s own self, reconciling with it and reveling in its liberation, and the struggles that stem from common misunderstandings around bisexuality. Read on.

    Q. When did you first realize you were bi?

    The first time I considered the possibility of existence bisexual was when I was 16. I was in my first year of junior college and found myself experiencing sexual and romantic attraction towards my peers, with no clear preference for any sex/gender identity. I reflection it was a passing phase and that I would eventually settle on one particular sex, but soon realized that that was never going to happen. Luckily, when I was about 14, my father had explained to me that sexuality was a spectrum and not a checklist, so it wasn’t too hard for me to come to terms with my bisexuality.

    Q. Are you comfortable with the label?

    I am now. I used to associate bisexuality with promiscuity and infidelity, and thought it was just a made-up identity that people used as an excuse to act badly but once my father explained how fluid sexuality can be, I began reading m

    Study refutes scientific doctrine that left-handedness is
    linked to dyslexia, homosexuality, asthma



    BY RACHELLE COOPER

    Contrary to popular scientific belief,
    left-handedness is not linked to dyslexia, poorer spatial ability,
    homosexuality, asthma or hyperactivity, Prof. Michael Peters,
    Psychology, has found.



    “We've shown on a number of tasks that there's no difference
    between right- and left-handedness," says Peters, whose study of more
    than a quarter million people is published in the current issue of
