A community can not care whether contributors happen to be left- or right-handed. But if the community keeps making jokes about how left-handed people are inferior, there's probably not gonna be many left-handed people in the community.
Or maybe the project's infrastructure or documentation is somehow more difficult to use for left-handed people, or assumes shared experiences that's common among right-handed people but which is foreign to most left-handed people.
And since roughly 10% of the population is left-handed, if only 2% of your community is left-handed, it could be worthwhile to ask why. Maybe that difference is due to a broader societal issue, but maybe there's something about the community that repels left-handed people. Worth investigating, no?
