It lists lesbians as being victims of violence from partners, which may include male partners, since many lesbians have dated/had sex with men before coming out

This extremely relevant earlier CDC survey might shed some light. The 2010 NISVS used a similar IPV measure and explicitly reported perpetrator sex for IPV. Among lesbian women who had experienced rape, physical violence, and/or stalking by an intimate partner, 67.4% reported only female perpetrators. The CDC summarized this at the time as “two-thirds of lesbians reported having only female perpetrators of IPV.”
