Not sure why I did this but whatever ~content~ just to make things clear: the term girlfriend is okay to use but only when appropriate, AKA if you're my girlfriend or if you use it in such a way that means that I'm a friend that is a girl. (though, let's be real, no one does that- my 2nd grade teacher did once though so like-)
sorry for being kinda of inactive! thanks to @-pride-aesthetics- for the original
