Comments on Lindesay: laterality shift in homosexual men.
The raised incidences of strong left-handedness and of mixed-handedness in homosexual men, as in dyslexics, are mutually consistent under the normal distribution function, as expected by the right shift theory of handedness. It is argued that atypical laterality in these groups is better described as a "reduction of right shift" than as a "left shift".
