OutCasting Overtime; Gatekeeping within the LGBTQ community
Description:
Some older LGBTQ people complain that today’s more accepting environment makes things too easy for the new generation. Some people say that young trans people aren’t “trans enough” if they don’t want to transition medically. These are examples of gatekeeping – the idea that you have to earn your place in the LGBTQ community. OutCaster Carol considers how this can harm LGBTQ youth.
