Sorry, due respect but I think this thread gets the question wrong. The point of the #manel pledge is that cisgendered men experience an immense amount of privilege and we should take our panel invitations as an opportunity to put that privilege in check and elevate other voices.

I don't see that as circular. It's a category that can and should have multiple expressions/definitions, and the only just way to apply them is through self-identification.
If I said a fersiopy is something that identifies as a fersiopy would you see that as circular? It tells you nothing about the nature of fersipoys. It's not a definition. How can a person tell whether they are inside the category or outside?

I'm pretty sure when it comes to gender, folks know. I don't need a definition to tell me if they are, I can just ask them. (Just like I don't need a definition to tell me what I am.)

Can you define gender?
