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
I'm neither a lesbian nor a woman but the word "partner" is pretty universally understood.
Unless they work as a policewoman.
They could also be in business together. Or cowboys.
I use that to refer to business partners and people have been confused by it.
let them be confused. does one supercede the other?
Yeah I thought about that one too, but it feels too broad of a term. Partner could be used to refer to a work colleague. And I'd feel really tempted to add "in crime" at the end lol
I'm always tempted to preceed it with "howdy"
work on a cook line in a restaurant. gain a little trust, might get a partner or several.
