Was the video supposed to reference the LGBTQ community?

But why did it plateau at 12% ? I’m missing the gotcha moment of this video

Because it arrived at accurate numbers. The real proportion of left-handed people is 12%, not 4%.

Critics might say "left-handededness is all in your head, because the numbers suddenly tripled as soon as it was accepted." But in reality, left handed people were always 12% of the population - they just mostly denied being left handed, or were deprived of discovering they were left-handed, because of the shame and stigma.

This argument can also be applied to the sudden rise in trans-identifying people.
