When someone takes it upon themselves to decide who does or does not have access or rights to a community or identity.

Haven't heard it used that way before. In the trans community at least it refers to the people (shrinks and otherwise) who create a barrier to transition by withholding referral letters recommending hormone therapy (1 letter) or surgery (2 letters).

I always understood the term "gate keeper" to mean a mid tier fighter in combat sports, who isn't the best, but not a bottom feeder either. He/she is usually an accomplished veteran, who acts as a block to up and coming fighters who are not good enough to reach the best tier of fighters due to not being able to beat the gate keepers who are in the mid tier.

It's interesting because I learned two things today, well, two new ways the term "gate keeper" is used. Thanks to Cec and Poke. [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

I always thought of gatekeeper as the guy before the gate in karateka.

You're all wrong. The Gatekeeper possessed Dana and was looking for the Keymaster to bring Gozer to destroy the world.

it's a misappropriation of the term for the purposes of humor.
