Once being left-handed wasn't as stigmatised anymore, suddenly more people came out as left-handed. In truth though, those people always existed, it's just that now people aren't being punished for it, so they can be openly left-handed without fear of being abused for it.
And then their percent of the population flatlined at 20%.
The more interesting thought is that certain sexual orientations are in the same category, but right now are still in the stigmatization phase. They will flatline at some 20-ish % in the future, but it will be some battling to do

Just an interesting thought.

As a gay left-handed person, I am ready for this flatline!
