Lesbians of lemmy, how do you introduce your SO to other people without getting them confused for just a friend?

Since a lot of women have started to call their female friends "girlfriends", I have to wonder how women with actual girlfriends have been dealing with this lol

Yeah my 70 yo aunt has had platonic “girlfriends” for at least 30 years

Oh damn, I thought it was a more recent thing

I can tell you’re young because 30 years doesn’t seem recent to you.

When I hear of a 70-year-old woman who’s been doing something for the last 30 years, I read that as a recent cultural change happened.
