Do you think that in the temeraire universe carabineers get associated with lesbians because of the aerial corps? Like the corps isn't a queer safe haven, it's still Napoleonic era British military, but compared to everyone else in the empire they are very liberal where things like sex and gender roles are concerned. Add to that why some women would want to leave the expected path of marry, become a housewife and have children to a career path where they aren't expected to marry and only expected to have at least one kid if they make it to Captain (and even then, it's just until they get the kid not the rest of their life. Not to mention that if temeraire gets his way not having a captain won't be such a big problem anymore)... Well
