Connecting with friends in the Le***an community offers a unique experience. While heterosexual women may easily define friendships as purely platonic, for bisexual, le***an, or q***r women, the possibility of transitioning into a romantic relationship might not always be clear. So, how do we navigate and establish boundaries in our female-to-female friendships? Communication is absolutely key. Once you've established that you're seeking only friendship, make it known.
