TSQ: Transgender Studies Quarterly is the first non-medical academic journal devoted to transgender studies.[1] Whereas the International Journal of Transgenderism (est. 1998) emphasizes psychology and medicine, TSQ emphasizes interdisciplinary cultural studies and the humanities.[2]

The general editors of TSQ are co-founders Susan Stryker and Paisley Currah;[3] the editorial board comprises 25 scholars who are active in transgender studies.[4][5] Currah is a professor of political science at Brooklyn College[6] and the Graduate Center, CUNY.[7][8] Stryker is an associate professor of gender and women's studies at the University of Arizona. Her 1994 essay "My Words to Victor Frankenstein Above the Village of Chamounix" was the first article by an out transgender author ever published in a peer-reviewed journal.[9]

It was 2008 when Stryker and Currah were alerted to the need for a journal of transgender studies.[3] They were co-editing the Fall/Winter issue of Women's Studies Quarterly;[10] It was a special transgender studies edition, and they needed 12 articles; they received more than 200 submissions.[2][3]

In May 2013, they started a month-long Kickstarter campaign to help fund the journal.[11] They received more than US$10,000 in donations in the first five days; by the end of the campaign, the journal had nearly US$25,000 in crowdfunded capital.[11]
