Maybe. I'm left-handed, and get no flack about it. Sure, some people
are jealous, but it's not their fault they were born wrong-handed.

Explain to me why most left-handed people hold a fishing rod with the reel
up rather than down like it's supposed to be.

Most reels have crank handles that may be swapped to the other side.

I don't change the handle on spinning reels, because I've adjusted to
changing hands after casting. Probably was by the time I was 5 years
old. Besides, I usually fish with righty family member and we swap
rods a lot. I don't want to inconvenience them, since it's no problem
for me. No problem cranking with my left hand, but since my right arm
is weaker it might affect hauling in a really big fish. That's only
happened to me once. Sob.
I've never seen anybody holding a rod with spinning reel on top, and
that is probably a figment of your imagination. Perhaps some type of
compensation deal that a right-hander uses to cope.
I do put the crank on the right side of my casting reels, and NOBODY
uses my pets but me.
Did you know that scissors don't work well for left-handers?
That's no accident of design. We don't like being a seamstress.

they make lefty scissors.
