Left Handed and Ambidextrous were things you could roll on the Medical Table during char gen. The medical table could give you a few other good things too, such as Double Jointedness (arms, legs or both) and Throwback Strength , but mostly it would give you either nothing or bad things (epilepsy, disease scars, injury scars, asthma, allergies etc).
That's sort of one part of GURPS I like -- you can take disadvantage in return for extra stats or abilities, or extra abilities in return for lower stats or other disadvantages. Something like that could be interesting in T2K.
