It makes sense since many young female celebs who come out as bi, pan, or queer, still end up dating and marrying men. While with men it seems we’re pretty much hardwired one way or the other, gay or straight. Not to discredit or say bisexuality/pansexuality doesn’t exist with men. But bi/pansexual labels are definitely more common with women.

Their study relies on a biased sample. It "examined 15 years of responses from more than 10,000 public university undergraduates in New York state between 2011 and 2026." College students in New York is not a good sample of NY let alone the U.S. Also, the hotbed of gender/queer studies is academia and females are more susceptible to social contagion, so it's not surprising that females (less hardwired and more susceptible to social contagion) are more likely to label themselves that way than males.
