I have never felt discriminated for being left handed and it never bothers me much except the smudging what I'm writing/drawing part. I'm happy to see there are many left-handed people on the TFP! I wonder what the ratio is worldwide...
I am an artist and there are many great artists that were left-handed - that is one of my first thoughts when I'm reminded I'm left-handed

Whether we write or speak or do but look
We are ever unapparent. What we are
Cannot be transfused into word or book.
Our soul from us is infinitely far.
However much we give our thoughts the will
To be our soul and gesture it abroad,
Our hearts are incommunicable still.
In what we show ourselves we are ignored.
The abyss from soul to soul cannot be bridged
By any skill of thought or trick of seeming.
Unto our very selves we are abridged
When we would utter to our thought our being.
We are our dreams of ourselves, souls by gleams,
And each to each other dreams of others' dreams.
Fernando Pessoa, 1918
