@brandon @kiri when my grandparents went to school they were physically beaten for being left-handed. I live in hope that the children of my daughter's generation will look back on society oppressing people for being non-homo or non-cis as being just as unthinkable and inexplicable as trying to force southpaws to be right-handed.
