transdexterity 

The act of changing congenital handedness; as in writing
The act of hanging from one hand to another
Changing one’s handedness

Transdexterity was once a common practice of kindergarten teachers, when they noticed students writing with their left hand. They believed the child must adapt to the world and its inventions, such as scissors and pencil sharpeners, so they forced left handed children to write with their right hand.

The act of transdexterity was once controversial in the teaching profession. While some teachers believed they were helping naturally left-handed children fit in the world’s standards, others believed the world should adapt to the left-handed children, as they were born.
