I've known women who have experienced sexual abuse from men isolate themselves from intimate relationships with men. They haven't taken up with other women. Anecdotally boys abused by women don't seem to choose relationships with men. When you read of boys abused by men it seems sometimes they have male sex partners but no mention of they were gay/bi to begin with. But most people are not sexually abused so it can't be the only reason

I will say I've known a few women who have identified as lesbian after being sexually assaulted or abused by men. It certainly isn't the majority of lesbians or bisexual women.
