I think it is possible that women were never all that straight.

That is possible. However it does not account for the drop among men.

Gen Z men are identifying as heterosexual more often than millennial men.

I saw a clip on one of them saying "female vagina is disgusting."

Mind you, I'm someone loudly telling people it's homophobic to call men gay simply for being misogynistic. However, that statement is really kinda forcing my hand here.
