"Oh, this is some sinister superstitious shit" ⁽ᵖᵘⁿ ⁱⁿᵗᵉⁿᵈᵉᵈ⁾

Real consideration:

This checklist is for an orthopedist. Therefore it's good for the doctor to know: being left handed does bring with it orthopedic considerations in a world designed for right handed people. Although, "Disease History" is probably not the best terminology for the checklist

"Give it to me straight, doctor."

"I'm afraid you have a serious case of left-handedness."

"It is treatable?"

"Yes."

"How?"

"Brain surgery. We will have to flip your brain around."

(I'm left-handed, btw.)

when i greet left handed people, i say "good to meet someone else of the right mind" (due to that weird hemisphere flip)

I used to be militantly left-handed, but I've mellowed a bit. I still sometimes deliberately make people uncomfortable by saying "The only things I do with my right hand are pick my nose, wipe my butt, and shake hands with right-handed people." If I can time it so I'm actually shaking hands with someone as I say it, it goes over super well.

even just plain "left" in english is awful terminology

it's derived from "lyft" in old english, meaning weak

there is a cultural stigmatism in the muslim world against using the left hand for certain tasks as well

however:

arabic and persian script is written from the right to the left

all us left handers in left to right systems like latin script are familiar with the ink smudge we get on our palms as we drag our hands over fresh ink

but no such ink smudge for left handers in large parts of the muslim world!
