I'm sure the prevalence of "sissy" porn isn't helping with that kind of misconception at all.
Honestly the only time I really hear about sissy porn it's either TERFs spinning ROGD/Social Contagion theories. I mean occasionally in a gross, objectifying chaser context but even those are somewhat rare in comparison to the volume of "God-Fearing Family Man and Certified Forklift Driver" DMs.

I sometimes go onto Horny Twitter when I'm bored, because seeing people with blurry profile photos post comments like "I NEED TO BE IN YOUR BUTT" is absolutely hilarious to me, and I've definitely come across a couple communities of "Force me to wear a skirt and makeup and then HUMILIATE me, mommy", but yeah, it's definitely more common in TERF-y or right-winger circles.

Also I see a similar vein in "SOY IS MAKING US WOMEN AND ALSO GAY" type drama, which spawned some great memes:

I haven't had an impossible bigmac, but I worked at a (slightly) fancier burger joint that had impossible burgers and beef burgers and while the impossible burger tasted a little different, in a blind taste test I couldn't tell you which was which. Like the the same toppings on a burger at the same place, but swapping beef or impossible will taste less different than ordering a beef burger with the same toppings at two different restaurants.

Yeah, same here. Had one at Hopdoddy here (ATX) and it was just a very good burger.

I haven't had the impossible burger but I quite like the Beyond Burgers. Texture and taste wise they're pretty close to my senses, but I think I could tell them by smell. The BB has a slight undertone of something that distinguishes it from real meat, but for what it's worth I also prefer the smell of them to real meat

We convinced my carnivore dad-in-law to try a chunk of cooked Impossible, and he was pleasantly surprised at how similar it was to real hamburger. His words were "I'm not convinced to make the switch, but I would not be upset if someone served me this!" He's not anti-vegan options themselves (he's left-wing and has never indicated any 'ITLL TURN ME GAY!!!' thinking), but he's always refused to try any fake meat because "I eat the real stuff and like it, so why would I eat the fake stuff?"

I highly recommend trying it it, especially if you have folks nagging you to cut down on your burger consumption like I do. :) Not as familiar with the Beyond version, though.

Yeah, from my experience, they haven't quite figured out how to perfect vegan cheese yet. Similarly, the few vegan bacons I've had were foul. HUGE fan of fake chicken though, I always pick that over real (I've always thought real chicken has a metallic taste to it, my brain is broken).

you can pretty much guarantee that anyone spelling it "HIPPA" doesn't actually know what it covers, lol

Yes, but, there are open-class word categories that we add to all the time, like nouns and adjectives, and closed-class words, which we don't tend to add new words to because they're function words--like pronouns. So it is more difficult for people to adjust to using neopronouns than it is to adjust to using new words for computers or whatever. That said: 1) adding neopronouns into your lexicon is not impossible, people just gotta work a little more at practicing it, and 2) they/them has already been used in English for ages to refer to a single person of unknown gender, so it already exists, its function just needs to be tweaked.

The first time I heard a neopronoun was in Doom Patrol with Rebis. I went "Oh, that's neat! A specific pronoun for people who are both/neither!" And though it's hardly universal, zie has stuck in my head as a word for that ever since. I just can't understand people getting super mad about it. New words to clarify language are great! Be greater if we could agree on them, I suppose, but the idea's solid.

Basically if you're a straight trans woman (attracted exclusively to men) you fall into the former category and you are acceptable. If you are a lesbian, bisexual or even asexual you fall into the latter category, which Blanchardians define as a sexual fetish.

Sorry, a fetish of not wanting to have sex?

MYTH 3: DID IS RARE

Many authors, including those of psychology textbooks, argue that DID is rare.70,97–99 The prevalence rates found in psychiatric inpatients, psychiatric outpatients, the general population, and a specialized inpatient unit for substance dependence suggest otherwise (see Table ​Table1).1). DID is found in approximately 1.1%–1.5% of representative community samples. Specifically, in a representative sample of 658 individuals from New York State, 1.5% met criteria for DID when assessed with SCID-D questions.77 Similarly, a large study of community women in Turkey (n = 628) found 1.1% of the women had DID.78

The lack of quotation marks around "cheesesteak" in this post troubles me, since a vegan cheesesteak is a thing that cannot by definition exist, as vegan food cannot contain either cheese or steak.

Like, I'm sure it was a tasty sandwich, but it wasn't a cheesesteak.
