Christina, I think this is true of anybody, male or female, unless you already have established a good reputation. It's tough to trust somebody the very first time you work with them, especially if it's a newish official.
But if you have a 6'5" fairly built Male official and a 5'6" slight built Female official - who do you think is going to get more questions/retorts/comments....

I do agree with you tho. I found I received more opposition as a female when reffing Campus Rec at the university. There are a lot more ego-centric guys there.
