Dykenosis triggered feedback and interest
1994
LesBeWell produced a regular photocopied newsletter called Dykenosis,
distributed amongst lesbians via pubs, clubs, and subscriptions, from
1994, to 1998.
“Dykenosis was the only health advice for lesbians
available, so discussions on eating disorders, cervical screening or
not, homophobia in the NHS, Glasgow’s lesbian health service, were all
covered. There was lots of positive feedback and interest. It got
people thinking about their own health, though I’m not sure if it made
anyone give up smoking or drinking!”
