I'm committed to it.
In Whipping Girl, Julia Serrano issued a call to challenge gender entitlement, which she defined as "privileging one's own perceptions, interpretations, and evaluations of other people's genders over the way those people understand themselves."
Frankly, I'm repulsed and angered by the gender entitlement, misgendering of trans* people, and policing that some feminists orchestrate both in the name of feminism and in the name of allegedly protecting cis women. By doing so, they contribute to the marginalization of transgender people and align themselves with gender traditionalists who audit people's own lived experiences of themselves.
