Don't apologize for offending anyone on the subject of gender. There are a few notable exceptions, but most of the folks on this board get offensive on the subject of gender, at least once in a while, and never apologize. In fact, I'm probably offending someone by saying that, and I have no intention of apologizing.
As a woman, overall, you have a much greater chance of succeeding in women's ball than a man does, and a much lower chance of succeeding in men's ball. That's just the way the cookie crumbles. I'm probably offending someone by saying that, and I have no intention of apologizing.
It will matter to you enormously the first time you walk into your assigned dressing room and discover a naked male coach or worse yet naked male ref partner, because the AD at that school forgot to consider this issue. It'll be a while before you can look that guy in the eye again. Although I'll admit, when this happened to me, I never had another word out of that previously mouthy coach, so maybe it wasn't all that bad.
