"Perception" or "perceived credibility" doesn't make it right. There was a time when you didn't see women officiating games on TV. A fan could infer at the high school level that women are inferior officials. Should that have stopped women from officiating in state tournaments?
That's it exactly.

Good thing I don't have any aspirations to "moving up" because I'm not spending the money for contacts.

I can see just fine for what I'm doing.
