FWIW roughly 5% of men are attracted to men, so that'd be 19:1 . Still, yes, heavily skewed.

  Different statistic altogether, but ~17% of Gen Z self-reports as lgbt in Gallup surveys: https://www.washingtonpost.com/dc-md-va/2021/02/24/gen-z-lgbt/ https://www.washingtonpost.com/dc-md-va/2021/02/24/gen-z-lgb...

    This is most likely increases in "B", less "LGT", though I expect all to increase given the reduction in stigma. Vast majority of new cases of "B" are likely to be cultural. i.e. White women in HS/Uni. Declared, but never expressed.

    as a gen z, there's a considerable fraction of mostly girls who identify as bi or nb just bc it's "trendy". tbh it's a problem and lowkey trivializes people who actually are those. i think this is what happens when you emphasize a "lgbt community", young people seeking community will join for no other reason.

But it's far more than OP's 1%, which was my point.

I wonder how much women are attracted or tolerant to women or depictions of women, that's rarely discussed, often assumed nonexistent, that I think exists in a substantial volume.
