I didn’t realize “females” were supposed to keep to some “natural” percentage of non-lesbians.

Expect, not supposed. Had they been "female" we would have expected the same distribution of sexual orientation as among females, and we are not seeing that.

Seems like you’re presuming that survey results = actual number of lesbians in real life = “natural” biological rate of homosexuality among women, is that correct?

Oh so you think lesbians actually outnumber straight women? Lesbians are the smallest sexual minority according to data, but if it would have to fit the sexual orientation distribution of the woman-identifying males then lesbians would the largest group, outnumbering even straight women.

No one can say without good data.
