Honestly, who knows how many people are in the 'fandom' anyway. It's a large, disparate group with differing ways of 'categorising' themselves. In some groups, I probably wouldn't be considered a furry, but in others I could be, given that I have a fascination with anthropomorphic creatures and depictions within ancient and medieval art, such as found in Ancient Sumeria, Assyria, Ancient Egypt or Medieval marginalia et cetera. Depending on how one categorizes it, you could add the whole populations of Entire Middle-eastern cultures as being 'furries' because they believed in Anthropomorphic gods ~3000 years ago.
That said, I have noticed exactly what you have said within the fandom. There are even male 'queen bees'... such as the infamous guy who is making Amorous.
Ahem, Or Jay Naylor.
