This is actually a pretty common lesbian experience.

Then there’s also the fact that many lesbians enjoy shipping gay couples and/or watching gay porn.

Uh, no. And if the woman finds gay male porn hot, she is not a lesbian.

Some people on here were explaining that there are a non-negligible amount of lesbians who are into yaoi. I'm not an authority on that as I watch zero anime and it's not something my friend group is into either, but apparently this is a thing. But that also doesn't mean they're attracted to gay men.

I think society is also so fucked up by porn at this stage that I wouldn't assume too much about a person's sexual orientation by the porn they watch. After all, lesbian porn is apparently the most popular for straight women to watch.

If they are into non-pornographic yaoi, I can understand, but if it's porn then I'd suspect they are actually bi. They are literally schlicking to dicks, no lesbian would do something like this.

You are missing a major component. That is that lesbian porn is gross material catered for straight men. Lesbians don't have a good porn source (not that anyone needs that) but it may push some to other categories.

I honestly have no further insight.
