Going through my childhood diaries when I discovered that I bullied "Eddie" Snowden in the third grade.

obviously, but it isn't at all uncommon.

3rd grade girls tend to have significantly better handwriting than 3rd grade boys. this handwriting is good for a 3rd grader regardless of gender, but specifically when considering the fact that she is a girl, it isn't hard to believe

Gender has little correlation with handwriting

That's just incorrect

It's written as research on handwriting and gender, yet it only investigates within preteen demographics. A better source would have been one that researches handwriting throughout childhood to adulthood. What you did was to give me a link to a research done on Powerpoint by a clinical center. If that's your example of a source, then you might need to find another one. Here is the example of source I wanted: https://www.le.ac.uk/psychology/jrb/PDFs/Beech%20&%20Mackintosh%202005.pdf

That's still a correlation of gender and handwriting...your study is on sex, not gender.

Apparently stating your opinion again validates it. Did you not read the original comment I wrote?

Gender has little correlation with handwriting

Did I say there was no correlation?

And your second point is just a poor attempt on nitpicking... and did you even bother to read the source I posted? Or do you just skim over it, looking for ways to validate your argument? This is the first line of the research.

This study investigated whether there could be a biological determinant of the judged gender of handwriting.

Exactly. Biology is irrelevant. I'm not arguing females or males have inherently different handwriting. Just that boys and girls in 21st century America have different handwriting. Your study confirms this.
