I’m both left-handed and Jewish. If some right-handed person announced that they were going to spend a day/week/month trying to use their left hand as the dominant hand, I’d be, yeah, whatevs. On the other, er, hand, Christian appropriation of [modern] Jewish religious symbology creeps me out.
I infer that if I lived in a world where left-handed people were the victims of systematic and pervasive discrimination, I would have a stronger reaction to right-handed people pretending to be left-handed.
