piece of advice
Juulie,
By know means am I the greatest, most experienced or sharpest referee on the block, but I have been around a bit so I feel like I can give advice to a fellow ref.
We all have obstacles. Too thin, too fat, slow, ugly, etc. The list goes forever. The goal is to overcome them. Be the best YOU can be with what you have. My advice to you is to be remembered for something positive. A great hustler. Sharp mechanics. Prompt. Wants to work the tough game. Even though I support your point about the female ref thing, that's not what you want to be remembered for.
Picture this conversation between two of your peers...
Bob-Who are you working with tonight?
Joe-Juulie.
Bob-Isn't she the woman that put up the stink about being called a guy?
Joe-Yep.
Bob-Have a good time. *smirk*
Right or wrong, these things happen. People love to dwell on the negative. The trick is, don't give them a negative to dwell on.
I'm not chick-bashing here. Just adding my two cents to a touchy subject.
