There is! It's easy.
Put it to the test. Next time you roleplay, contradict something the GM says. Just dig in your damn heels and refuse to go along with it, like you are with me. Don't let the game proceed until the GM goes along with you instead. "No, it is not raining, it's a sunny day," for instance. Something that doesn't matter much but is clearly within the GM's authority. Stick to it until you get your way, or until the game breaks up, no compromising. Then come back and tell me what happened. Did the GM's pre-agreed authority defeat your in-the-moment refusal to grant assent?
