You don't want it over there, unless you also also get the spoilers on
the right side (speaking as a left-handed pilot that flew a couple of
training flights using his left hand, until the instructor said "now,
open the spoilers...").
Practically speaking, there is no advantage to a left-hander to use his
left hand on the stick. The motions are relatively large and easily
learned by a left-hander, compared to fine motions like handwriting.
Might as well, since every other single seat glider requires the right
hand. If you REALLY want to fly left handed, look at a side-by-side two
seater, some of which require a left hand on the stick and a right hand
on the spoilers.
