“Ruth the Butch” by Karen Williams, published in Femme/Butch: New Considerations of the Way We Want to Go (2002) ed. Michelle Gibson & Deborah Meem

image description: A screenshot of an image from a book. At the top is a black and white photograph of a Black femme smiling at the camera. she has short curls and is wearing wire-framed glasses, long tassel earrings, and a blouse or dress with spaghetti straps. the photo is captioned with her name, Karen Williams, in white. the rest of the image is black text on a gray background:

I have to have roles ‘cause when I get to a closed door I want to know who’s going to open it. I am standing there waiting for a butch to come along. And all those androgynous people and codependent people line up right behind me. Actually, we are really waiting for the UPS or Federal Express truck to come because we know that’s where all the butches work. I used to be a secretary and I had my favorite butch from UPS: Ruth the Butch. I was putting in requests. I was wrapping up huge packages with nothing in them but paper clips.

“Can Ruth come by today? I got 49 boxes just for her.” And, sure enough, she’d come over there and I’d say, “Ruth, please pick up that box,” and she’d pick it up with the two paper clips and say, “Oh, this is so light!” And I’d say, “That’s because you’re so strong!”

the conversations didn't all go completely the way i wanted, but i actually do appreciate the show giving simone a chance to have a heart to heart about karen with carlotta, star, AND alex. between carlotta understanding her pain and telling her to take all the time she needs, alex telling her they would always have her back, star saying whatever simone is, it doesnt matter bc its ok and she hates labels anyways. im so glad they got to know how simone felt. and the part where alex, star and simone drive off, and star pulls them over and she and alex tell simone the know shes been holding everything in but they want to know all about karen. their playful banter about how she shouldve sealed the deal when simone told them about their first almost kiss, them giving her space to grieve, their song playing on the radio and simone saying its karen looking down on them and they all cheer and shit. i really love it
