Within LGBTQ spaces, trans people have historically faced gatekeeping. In the 90s and early 2000s, it was common for lesbian separatist spaces to exclude trans women. Gay men’s choruses had to vote on whether to allow trans men. Even today, disputes arise over whether trans women belong in "women’s spaces" or trans men in "gay male spaces." While most formal organizations have adopted robust inclusion policies, the casual social rejection remains a reality for many.
