I feel like most of the time I see someone calling themselves an ally to a marginalized group, my first though is to doubt their being genuine and I hate that. That they will claim they will support a group, but the moment that support is needed, they will abandon them or turn against them and show their true colours.

The movement women criticize sexualization and objectification in media or fandom, especially when it comes to popular comics and video games, most of that allyship suddenly goes away and people will go out of their way to defend it at treat us as killjoys or talk down to us. Fuck me the way comic fans go apeshit if you suggest or when artists have attempted to cover up Power Girl's boob hole or fighting game or RPG fans when it's suggested women should be less objectified.

Same with representation in genres, Shonen being a big example of this for me because men will just lie to your face to keep the status quo and will just pretend women don't read shonen manga (despite the statistics that show not only do we do, we represent around 50% of the readership) because they really don't want more women leads, don't want their favourite creators and editors called out on their blatant misogyny and blocking women writers, don't want women treated with more respect, don't want to acknowledge their not the only fans. Same with video games, fantasy etc.

People will claim they support women being independent, having bodily autonomy and able to call out abuse, but the moment an article pops up about low fertility rates in a country or a popular performer is accused of harassing/abuse a woman that all suddenly goes out the window and we're blamed for societies ills, that we should shut up and have babies and if we don't want to we're just bad people who are selfish and cowardly or we're suddenly now not meant to believe potential victims or now Feminism has gone too far etc.

And for me, shit like really stings being Trans. I will never be able to give birth to Children and unless thing suddenly get REALLY better in the UK, will never be able to adopt or come out publicly as a woman outside of places online where I can be with close friends or places like here where I can be openly trans thanks to having a anonymous username. Guess I'm a waist of space in these people's eyes. I'm already aware how little the word of trans "allies" really means, aka, jack shit. I've seen time and again that people happily say "Fuck Rowling" or say they support trans people, but the moment they actually have to do something other than empty platitudes, they'll vanish and look from afar as the media, governments and giant personalities make it clear they want us dead and will happily take away our rights to exist.

Same with mental health, oh people will say they care and support, but will then happily use us as the scapegoats for mass shooting in the US, use Autism as slur against incels, transphobes, bigots and other horrible people (like thanks, really nice to know you think I'm no better than the scum that want me dead) or dismiss anything you say, make it clear they think your experiences are less valid because they know something who's autistic or a family member and will weaponize them against you and to talk over you. Or say they support you but the moment you turn your back on them, their mocking your autism and make it VERY clear what they think about you and other people on the Autistic spectrum.

And bisexuality is so frustrating because it feels so many "allies" don't get why it's so infuriating seeing bi-erasure in media and real-life like if a bi-women marries or dates a man, their suddenly considered straight or a straight couple; they'll shrug their shoulders and act like nothings the issue.

It really feels like a lot of the time "Allyship" for many people is just a word to make themselves feel good, that they can feel good about supporting women without actually doing anything to actually help and supporting women, or trans people, POC etc; wanting the admiration without any of the work. To me, if you truly want to be a ally, DO SOMETHING, don't just say you will, even if it's just a simply of not talking over the people your allying with, signing petitions, not supporting well known bigots through views, merch, tell others etc. Actually listen to what people you want to ally with are saying and remember that not everyone in those communities are going to agree so don't butt into internal debates and arguments.

They finally realizing all these "allies" are fake virtue signalers

But also a whole lot of ME ME ME ME ME ME!!! 
"Why won't you listen to me and bend to my every whim, 'allies'"!!!!

Edit: 
They made it members only, so here's a screenshot of the OP:

Wtf, they say they need all the allies they can get for the trans genocide yet doubt people who do want to be an ally?
