It’s not a contradiction, although I also thought that for a bit. I think with《“a [b]” c》, “a [b]” is describing the artists’ sexual orientation, not the subject of the drawing.
Afaik, Anne Rice was not trans. Many women identify with gay men in my experience. Her writing was very typical of women writing men.
Her writing doesn’t represent the bara-type content shown in the second panel of the post, and to that point, your counterpoint is to the graphic in the post rather than to me.
The picture in “gay mens yaoi” is characteristic of bara, for which there is already a term. I was just pointing that out. I wasn’t picking a fight.
“Gay men yaoi” as shown is known as “bara”.
Still a very accurate graphic.
Edited for clarity.

So that’s gay men’s depiction/conception of yaoi.
Yaoi is generally by women. That’s part of the definition.
When it looks like that second panel, it isn’t yaoi, it’s bara (at least in English).
Who says women can’t be gay men? Like Anne Rice, yaoi queen!
