This is over-simplified. For instance, one study measured the testosterone of people in various professions and you know which group had the most? Actors. The group most likely to contain more femme-presenting gay dudes. (If I can find this, I'll come back and link.)

People misinterpret the influence testosterone and estrogen have on us. Yes, they certainly have an effect, but the effects can't be put into such narrow boxes when it comes to preferences and personality (as opposed to physical effects which are easier to measure).

Confidence is a trait often associated with testosterone, for instance, and one can argue it takes confidence to openly express your desire for the taboo.

Edit: Couldn't find the exact study, but I highly recommend this book, which I believe references it - https://www.amazon.com/Heroes-Rogues-Lovers-Testosterone-Behavior/dp/0071357394/ref=sr_1_fkmr1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1376755262&sr=8-1-fkmr1&keywords=james+dabs+testosterone
