@bridget_flynnn: they could see us inside each others skin and still say “aw they’re such close friends” 🥰🥰🥰 #wlw #lgbtq #lesbians #girlfriends #relatable
I blame the overtly casual usage of ‘girlfriends’ in middle aged woman. “Oh I’m just getting brunch with my girlfriends” “oh I’m hanging out with one of my girlfriends” it like over normalized it. That and homophobia of course.

I worked with a lady who talked about her girlfriend so I assumed she was talking about a partner. One day she mentions a husband or male partner or something and I realized every time she mentioned a girlfriend she was talking about hanging out with a friend who is a girl and they were all different people. ☠️then one time I saw a thin blue line jacket on the back of her chair lol

I hattteee when people say “sorry I didn’t want to assume” about being queer but they have no trouble assuming I have a husband or assuming we are sisters or roommates or friends

Some women use girlfriend platonically😂 my mom calls all her friends her girlfriends and she would call all mine and my sister’s friends our girlfriends

if its from women in their 40’s and up, girlfriend just means female friend. like the show Girlfriends. my Mom and her friends still call each girlfriends. you gotta make it clear you’re talking about your romantic partner. if its from younger people, they probably are just being ignorant

Alex Maxwell :
yet if it was a straight-presenting relationship, they would never demote the term to "friend". like if op said "my boyfriend", the other person wouldve never said "friend" in response.

My THERAPIST kept saying "friend" when I literally made it 10000% clear that she's my girlfriend. I literally was talking to her about the problems that we were having in our relationship.

How you emphasized the correction in girlfriend the person should know. However the first time saying girlfriend doesn’t imply but you’re right in this situation.

THIS is why I detest people calling friends their “girlfriends”. I’m GenX and didn’t hear anyone do this until I was at least 40. Whenever I hear it, I play dumb and assume it’s meant romantically. Married 50 yr. old woman says, “My girlfriends and I are in a book club.” I reply, “That’s amazing that your husband doesn’t mind you dating women too.”

That's why I skip small talk and just mention my wife. To be fair, we've been together since 2007-ish, so like... We both know we're not separating lol 😅 But it does bypass the "oh but I thought...?!" conversation - they have NO excuse that way, even if you're fibbing and not married.

I'm straight, but find it really odd that my mom used to call my bf (now husband) my "friend boy"
