Yes. When you close scissors, you use your grip to push the blades together perpendicular to the direction of travel. This makes the blades closer to each other so they slice.
You probably do this without thinking about it due to practice, but if you watch little kids try to use scissors, they'll sometimes end up with the paper just turning sideways and folding flat between the blades.
If you use the correct handed scissors, your natural grasp will cause this to happen fairly easily. If you use the wrong handed scissors, you have to push your thumb away from your palm at the same time you bring it closer to your fingers. Unnatural and uncomfortable.
