Jen, I am so sorry if you thought from my post that you had been offensive in using the "hit like a girl" words. That is not the case at all. My anger at the phrase is directed at the sexist society that lets such expressions exist for the wrong reasons (as I explained), not at anyone who grows up in that society and uses the phrase because it was put into his or her head. So, please don't worry about it and don't apologize.

By the way, I think it's absolutely great that you were able to "become" the girl you always were!
