I think for the time being it's best that you don't come out to your friend until you're sure that she'll accept you as you are and until you're sure that she won't pressure you to accept transwomen, not be a gold star lesbian, etc.

In my personal experience, I've got bi friends who don't understand why some lesbians aren't interested in bisexual women, especially if they're bisexual women who have only had male partners up until that point. You've got very different sexualities, even though lesbians and bisexual women share a love of women.

She also might have preconceived notions about lesbians, which she might apply to you if you come out. Until you're aware of what her stance is on many issues, I would recommend that you be cautious around revealing your sexuality to her.

"You've got very different sexualities, even though lesbians and bisexual women share a love of women."

If one thing I've come to realise in a broader level with this TQ+ ideology was this. Indeed, the way I see the world and my life experience is totally different from bisexual women, despite of both sharing the love for women.

Thank you for your answer. I'll keep all of those in mind.
