    You say this, but I once was trying to cook a meal in my grandmother’s house and discovered that her peeler was incompatible with my body: it was left handed and I am not.

      In a way though, that’s just a skill issue - you didn’t have the dexterity to use your left hand…

      Sorry, I didn’t mean that to come out snarky, it’s not the fault of the peeler is my point.

      For some reason, I find the phrasing “her peeler was incompatible with my body” delightful. I think it might be because the way we usually talk about this is in terms of “correct” bodies and “broken” bodies, when it is actually just a compatibility issue
