I am gen-X / xenial and I had a friend who, while in elementary school, was forcibly made right handed. One day when we were in our late 30s saw me doing something with my left hand and said that make so much sense and realized he was actually left-handed.
I watched some movie set in the boomer era where a kid’s dad died suddenly, and at the open-casket funeral, he saw his dad’s dead body and screamed and ran, and all the adults just scolded him and yelled at him. On the day of his own father’s funeral.
I asked my dad “is that how it was like for everyone back then?” and he said “yup”.
