I haven't witnessed too much gatekeeping of bisexual men by gay men, I've actually seen it more from straight women and sometimes men, though not as often because they aren't looking to date men. As for the race thing, yeah that's a major issue, probably a bigger one in the gay community than the lesbian community. The big thing though is lesbian prejudice against trans people, which, in my experience is a bigger issue than in the gay community.
i do agree that there are transphobic movements of lesbians, but that really is to pin a "small group" of lesbians on a bigger group, and this could be understood as saying all lesbians is manhating terfs really. do do believe that u r talking about lesbians™, but still.
and in my experience there r a lot of transphobia between gay men as well, i don't see how u can pin this on lesbians only. it's probably bc it's easier to pin it lesbians bc of misogony and the hate againt "feminism"
My experience is going to be different as a gay trans man, especially being that pre transition I IDd as a bisexual girl. That being said, I'm not pinning anything on anyone, I clearly said that all of the issues above occur in both communities.
