Welcome to Anodyne
After lifetimes of silencing by an unaccommodating system we have had enough. Our voices have been muffled, our needs ignored, misdiagnosed, and mistunderstood. Billions of FLINTA* people exist, frustrated by patriarchal structures and standards for health. It’s our time to be heard.
We refuse to accept outdated solutions to contemporary issues.
Anodyne (meaning pain relief) Magazine is a biyearly periodical offering an opportunity to voice our experiences to the masses. We exist not only for catharsis, but also progress. With the intersectional contributions featured in our magazine, we hope to change the existing health paradigm. (ISSN 3052-1289)
We are listening.
We support you.
