You're right: people do lie, even to themselves. So we sometimes need to infer the truth from their actions. In this case, from their actions - the fact that f/f dominates fandoms where female characters are centered and have interesting dynamics - we know that they are telling the truth.

Whether there exists a "contingent" that does not is a largely unfalsifiable claim that does not really bear discussing, as a more significant number clearly do want exactly what they said they want, even though making female characters more interesting/centering them will do nothing for those who engage with derivative works for the other aforementioned reasons (fantasy, projection, exploration with and onto male bodies, etc.).

To be honest the only time I've ever seen the "contingent" you describe being angry that a male should have been the lead instead is from misogynistic male-dominated fanspaces, not yaoi fans.
