I was into yaoi was a teen (well over a decade ago). At that age, I preferred these fantasy feminine men well over any actual men, which I believe is quite common in teenage girls as it's a safe zone in which to explore sexuality. I'm also autistic and was a complete tomboy at that age, so I may well have been tempted to identify as trans if that had been a thing back then (thank goodness it wasn't). As an adult, I have tended to date more masculine kind of men and my current fiance is super masculine. I think it's something a lot of (straight) girls grow out of.
