Ambidextrous guns for women

I’m left handed. Everyone around me says to learn how to shoot right handed because “lefties suck” which is really discouraging because I’m struggling with my right. Are there any benefits to shooting left handed or ambidextrous? Should I just suck it up and learn how to shoot right handed? Are there guns that work for left handed people, women specifically?

What do I need to consider when learning ambidextrous/southpaw shooting?
