This idea of gatekeeping is so cancerous. Nearly every time I see that accusation deployed, there is an implicit assumption that gatekeeping is obviously bad. It's just used as a trump, "you are gatekeeping, so I win". I think this is a ridiculous idea. There's nothing wrong with advocating for a high bar of professionalism, which is essentially what gatekeeping is. I'm very glad that medicine is a gatekept profession when I visit my doctor.
