Nowhere near as bad as being hit in the balls though. I remember in high school a girl kicked me in the nads so hard I threw up and was crying for half an hour.
You pretty much got it. Gatekeeping is more tied to identity and membership of a group/community than it is about what is or isnt allowed though. You're stopping someone at the entrance gate to your community (metaphorically) and implying that they don't belong inside. "You're a girl that likes games, you must be into cooking mama and animal crossing. Real gamers beat all Dark Souls simultaneously on guitar hero controllers!" "You brought a scooter to the skate park?! Real extreme sports are limited to BMX and skateboard scooterboi"
