Thank you for the past 4 years: BIWOC archive as a resource.
Community Members,
Please note that all BIWOC services are permanently suspended. The website, social media accounts, and online support groups will serve as an archive. Emails will not receive a response and social events are ceased.
The decision to suspend services is a reflection/response to the communities’ readiness to utilize BIWOC’s services in a sustainable way and a lack of volunteer staff to keep BIWOC’s administrative tasks and communications running.
BIWOC was created on June 5th, 2013 with the aim to provide bisexual people of color with spaces to give and receive emotional support, resources, and co-create community. Its amazing that there have been people through these past 4 years who have been able to utilize BIWOC’s services, and hope that BIWOC’s legacy with its online archive can be a resource to bisexual people of color for years to come.
In community,
Fougy Henry, EdM, MSLIS

Black girls deserve to learn free from bias and stereotypes.
Most black girls experience this hatred at schools. And classmates are not the only problem, there is no support from teachers, too. That’s why they get so affected by their school experiences. Black kids deserve to be treated just like everybody else, they want to study, they want to learn something ,too. However due to prejudice they are 5 times more likely to be suspended than their white peers and it can ruin their lives forever. National Women’s Law Center created this video to change the situation. Join the movement to help black girls feel normal and get the same opportunities everybody else has.

stop associating “female” with “vagina”
transgender women are female.
if a transgender woman has a penis, she has female genitalia.
transgender men are male.
if a transgender man has a vagina, he has male genitalia.
stop reducing people to their genitals; stop trying to exclude women from spaces meant for them.
stop using terms like radical feminism and bullshit gender theories as long-winded excuses for your blatant transphobia.
stop associating “female” with “vagina”.

There is absolutely nothing wrong with you. Don’t listen to them. Stay safe.

The myth that black men love fat women needs to get in a volcano
Is it easy
Being black and fat?
Do you enjoy random men telling you
“I’d hit that!”
Are you attracted to those who insult you on the street?
Or at family gatherings
When relatives you meet
Tell you nobody wants you when you’re fat.
But oh, black guys are supposed to love that!Is it easy when you’re not thin
And black, like how do you even fit in?
Folks look away when I catch their eye
And don’t get me started when they find out
I’m bi.
I’m not butch, and I hate the styles of the 1950’s
So I have to learn to dress a little differently.
But it’s not easy, not easy at all.
You should hear the names I get called!
I’m not hourglass shaped or light-skinned at that.
My belly has rolls and I am fat!So no, your racist ideas don’t help me one bit.
When you think I have it easier, you perpetuate a myth.
Fat liberation is blindingly pale;
Your racial oppression keeps me down on the scale.
The lines on my skin aren’t just stretch marks,
But self inflicted pain I cannot get past.So sure, say it’s easy being black and fat.
Look the other other way as I deal with this crap.
And if liberation for fat folks
Don’t include queers of colour at the heart of it,
Then we’ll done, sister:
Your movement’s full of shit!
